Just making sure, a lot of people aren't familiar with the actual story behind it.

Really? The supposed event happened before Jesus was around, so I would have assumed that it could be included within Christianity as well. But maybe that's just me being naive. And in the case that your using, the only reason it hasn't been as open as Christmas or Easter is simply because it hasn't been market whored out (yet).
