if we call winter break Christmas break- that marginalizes everyone else's religion. If we have gay marriage, does that not marginalize everyone else's marriage? But I digress - that's a different debate. It's called Christmas break because that's what it is. It's a break caused by the Christmas holiday. I presume people of all faiths take the day off from work or school even if they're not Christians. They don't seem too traumatized by the marginalization of their religion to take advantage of Christmas. Just as Christian children nationwide aren't marginalized enough to reject the pagan ritual of Halloween.
