I don't care whether you like Christmas or not, I don't care whether you are atheist or have some other beliefs, The very reason America was established was to have freedom of belief & religion, without persecution. America was founded on the principal of a higher power & that power was in "God". America was also founded on a principal of let the people decide & that is done by a majority vote. If you happen to be the minority vote you should not get your way but you also should not be subjected to forced indoctrination.
Many people don't get their way & they go on with life, they don't complain & whine about it, they simply live their life & participate when they agree & do something else or leave when they don't.
Christmas is & "ONLY" represents the birth of Jesus, so if you don't like it, don't participate but "DON'T" think you have the right to stop the majority from celebrating the most important birth in the history of the world.
You don't have to believe in Jesus but if we are going to celebrate Martin Luther King, George Washington & Abraham Lincolns birthday, we should at least celebrate the most influential person in world history, a fact that is undisputed.

Good Morning, Ralph. I'm down with Jesus, but I think you may have missed a couple of points. One, Jesus wasn't born in December, we only celebrate his birth at this time because of other traditions. The Winter Solstice being the primary one, which I love because it means I'm going to be seeing more of the sun. Second, The United States of America, wasn't founded by our fore father's for religious freedom, in fact many of them were not Christians, but they did have money, and they didn't like taxes.
