"Actually I prefer a general excuse to have a good time in midwinter, and celebrate midwinters, than the idea of a Christian Festival" - Angus Abranson
But I do agree with him that some places are being overly silly about their concerns that Christian Symbology in Christmas causing offence. It's been around for hundreds of years now and been commercialised heavily for the last 100/150+ so anyone who is really surprised and/or offended by the symbology of commercialised Christianity should really get into the 21st Century.
