None of us thought that the liberalism of the 60's would lead to an attack on Christmas as a holiday.

I think you're mistaken if you interpret any of this "as an attack on Christmas as a holiday." Sure, there are always a few nuts and some may be doing that, but I think most of it is just about trying to be more inclusive, more tolerant. Inclusiveness is a basic element of liberalism. It's also a salient element of liberal Christianity as distinguished from evangelical or fundamentalist Christianity. Two different aspects of Christianity. This attack you're talking about is largely implemented by Christians from liberal sects. It's sort of like the United Church of Christ commercial that the networks wouldn't show. Liberal Christianity is the softer side of Christianity, the nurturing rather than the authoritarian. Still Christianity, methinks.
