[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. And neither should Christmas be.[/quote] I agree with this in principle, but TBH, Christmas as a national holiday doesn't bother me that much, given that a large majority of Americans do actually celebrate some form of Christmas. No, according to the US Census, only 5% of Americans observe a non-Christian faith,* and half of that number are Jews. It doesn't make a lot of sense to have a national holiday for a religious holiday that only a handful of Americans celebrate. *18% are agnostic/atheist[/quote] Fed here. And even Christmas probably shouldn't be a federal holiday. But, if the government is open, mail has to be delivered, social security offices have to be open, etc., etc. And it is just not possible to provide minimal coverage when everyone wants off. Besides that though, no religious holidays. [/quote]
