I'm with you. It's not just fundamental Christians who find the attacks on the holiday offensive, it's secular, part time Christians also. The overall affect of living in the bluest area of a blue state is that Christmas and Christians are stigmatized. It isn't about the holidays specifically either; it's about the underpinning morality and set of values. They are being attacked and with it the common culture. It's all part of multi-culturism and it is horribly destructive to the country.

I don't find secular crismus offensive, I find it insane. Seems to me that the simple solution is to separate Christmas from all the secular stuff. We could do the tree and the presents and the secular parties on the solstice or on New Years and let Christmas be a religious holiday. That should suit both the Non-Christians and the purist Christians. Of course the majority of people in the middle, who comfortably merge mangers and Xmas trees, might be inconvenienced because they'd have to arrange two family gatherings or choose between the two. And it might contribute to national obesity if families consume two turkeys... <g>
