Oh boo hoo! There are Christians who are worried that Christmas is under attack! Well, see if I care. They used Christmas to steal the celebrations of Winter Solstice and Sol Invictus from the pagans, and they even stole their "Christmas" tree, among other things. I won't be shedding a tear over this. It's about time the Christians lost their stranglehold on this time of year.
