Christmas is a National Holiday just like Thanksgiving and Independence Day, celebrated by all. Preposterous.
But wishful thinking for people who aren't Christians but just want to get in on all the joy.
To equate a celebration of the birth of the savior to Independence day is to fundamentally misunderstand Christianity.
Christmas is indeed a National Holiday promulgated by the US Congress, yes, you can fly your flag on Christmas Day, but obviously, you were not educated in US Schools because you would have known this, so what flag to you fly, USSR's China's. What part of FEDERAL LAW don't you understand??? Before you comment on a post, I suggest you do some research first.

Federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103) establishes the following public holidays for Federal employees. Please note that most Federal employees work on a Monday through Friday schedule. For these employees, when a holiday falls on a nonworkday -- Saturday or Sunday -- the holiday usually is observed on Monday (if the holiday falls on Sunday) or Friday (if the holiday falls on Saturday).
Government Publications: The statutory listing of legal public holidays--along with statutory requirements-- is found in section 6103 of title 5 of the United States Code. Many rules apply to the administration of holidays including, specifically Executive Order 11582, dated February 11, 1971, as well as regulations found in Subpart B and D of Part 610 in Title 5 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Both the title 5 of the United States Code, and the Code of Federal Regulations are for sale by the U.S. Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, Mail Stop SSOP, Washington, DC 20402-9328
