Your joking right? "The problem of course is that Christ is NOT the reason for the season. Christmas is not even CLOSE to the only holiday is the holiday season."

You forgot Kwanza! 90% of America considers themselves Christian. Take Christians out of the scene and there is no "holiday". We dont buy merchandise (other than food mostly) for Thanksgiving and New Years. Are you from this planet or what? Next time try making an argument with facts not just stuff that you pull out of your libertarian bible.

I'm not joking, I just grew up in a neighborhood that was about 50/ 50 Catholics and Jews so I understand that Christ is not the reason for the season as a whole. Christ is the reason for how one demographic behaves during the season.

Kwanzaa isn't a real holiday.

90% of Americans consider themselves good drivers too doesn't make it so.

Thanksgiving and New Years are part of the broadly defined "Holiday Season" they are the bookends, the Holiday Season starts with Thanskgiving, ends on New Years and covers all the holidays in between. Hence, "Happy Holiday Season" shortened to "Happy Holidays".

I've got nothing but facts, and you know it, which is why you immediately resorted to insults. The first to insult is always the one who knows the facts don't back them up.

You mean you don't shop the after Thanksgiving and after New Year's Day sales for all those 1/2 price turkey day and new year day items that are needed to help celebrate the following year?

I always buy my turkey the day after to save for the next Thanksgiving Day :)
