Just because you take over a holiday doesn't make it yours. Just because people who are not Christians decide that they want to celebrate Christmas because it is such a lovely holiday, does not give you the right to determine what it is we're celebrating. It’s the birth of Jesus Christ, hence the name CHRISTmas.
This is ours. You’re intruding on our day, and then getting pissed because we aren't letting go of it cheerfully. I don't get it. I'm glad to share, but don't take more than your fair share, and don't decide what a holiday means just so you can be a part of it too.
Like I said, we want to talk about why it's wrong for the government to support a religious holiday; I'm on your side. But that argument that "we want to celebrate too so you have to accommodate us" is like the houseguest that starts bitching about what kind of laundry powder I use, deal with what I've got, or get your own.
