I actually agree with this. Easter is a far more powerful holiday for me than Christmas.
I agree as well. Christmas has become so commercialized I actually have come to detest the whole thing. Easter, along with Holy Thursday and Good Friday, are the defining moments for Christianity.

Yes, it is, but i don't see the stores putting up Happy Easter day signs.
"Put Christ back in Christmas" goes way back as a protest against "commercialization".
What drives me crazy is the inappropriateness of this motto for a protest of the movement to abandon the very term, "Christmas".
How can someone stand they and say "Christmas isn't just for Christians" when he won't even recognize Christmas? I'm goin' nuts I tell ya! Nuts!
Let the leftists get away with this, and see how long it is before they start the assault on any celebration of Easter.
I do not disagree with you. But you are missing the point! Think!
Using your logic, let's just the PC Islamic crowd ban any Christian holiday. Got it? Even the Jews respect Christmas and Easter.
If anyone from the ACLU gets your address, you will be receiving phone calls, letters and postcards.
I believe the concept of Christmas is just as important as Easter in theological significance.
"The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." That is the significance of Christmas. The teachings of Christ and the illumination upon the mysteries of life and morality are paramount to Christianity.
In Easter we celebrate victory over death but without the Word the victory is reduced to self-interest or materialism for the next life.
