Here's something I've noticed about holiday, or crismus, or whatever the last 10th of the year is - it's almost entirely female driven. If it were up to men, the whole dang thing would just evaporate.

Well, we have established you have a problem with evangelicals... I don't like pushy religions anymore than you, but I beg to differ on your logic. Lets look at your logic and timeline: Saturnalia existed, gets hijacked to a christian celebration. Over a thousand years go by.... including the ENTIRE history of the United States. The PC crowd starts pushing Christmas to Xmas. Kwanzaa gets created. Schools can discuss and even hold celebrations of Chanukah, Kwanzaa or Ramadan to accommodate multiculturalism. Since the 'base' culture is Christian it gets turned off lest it offend some minority. CB makes the Saturnalia argument in the US. Sometime later the very last Christmas parade is turned into a Lights Festival. Did I get that right?
