Most celebrate giftmas, which they call Christmas, but really their celebration has nothing to do with Christ.

Actually the founding fathers have no record of caring about this one way or the other. Federal holidays aren’t in the Constitution, technically all they really are is Congress giving federal EMPLOYEES a day off, whether or not private employers chose to follow suit is 100% up to them. And Christmas didn’t become a federal holiday until 1870.

The part of this that only happens in America is the incessant whining of the section Christian community that desperately wants to be persecuted. In the rest of the world companies include or don’t include the word Christmas as they see fit and nobody worries about it.

have you spent time in other countries at Christmas, I have Napoli, Bergan, Oslo, Copenhagen, all around Europe nearly to cut it short.

All places say Christmas, only here with the utter hatred of Christmas and Christians does it happen with all this crap.

It’s Christmas, just as stores now say Thanksgiving or 4th July

Christians in America have no idea what it means to be truly persecuted for one's faith. To them, a friendly, "Season's Greetings!" = hate for Christianity & all it stands for.
