[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Christmas is not secular no matter how you spin it.  I’ve never celebrated Christmas nor my kids.   [/quote]

98% of Christmas is secular. Many just ignore the 2%.

Christmas isn't secular.  Its a Christian practice and holiday.  I don't understand how you say its secular.[/quote]

DP-

Because in addition to its secular roots and history, many people celebrate it in a non-religious way.  Certainly you get that, right?  For example, there are dozens of popular holiday specials and only one of them mentions Jesus, and thousands of commercials and advertisements, none of which mention Jesus, and many family gatherings which (joyously) occur without mention of Jesus, either tacitly or explicitly.  Tons of non-denominal decorations everywhere...

You definitely understand this, I am certain of it.  Just because you might celebrate it differently, PPs point is that for many people (ok, possibly not 99% but likely the majority, I guess) celebrate it without a religious meaning.[/quote]

People of nonchristian background don’t usually celebrate it.  It has religious meaning.  How can you claim otherwise?   All Christmas decorations are for the Christian’s holiday.  Many other religions and none celebrate it. [/quote]

Did you even read the post you responded to?  It does not appear so.[/quote]
