The thing about Christmas is that, in my mind, its so much more than just celebrating the birth of Jesus. Christmas is also a time to celebrate giving and loving, and being with your family, and togetherness in general. (I know that was badly written.) It's very hard to put into words, but you really don't have to believe in Jesus or be Christian to have the Christmas Spirit. Celebrating Christmas with the trees and the santa displays and wishing your fellow man a Merry Christmas doesn't have to have anything to do with the birth of Jesus. It's just showing and celebrating and wishing upon others the Christmas Spirit. I have a Jewish friend, and they celebrate Christmas, to an extent. They put up a small tree and exchange presents. Celebrating Christmas and having the Christmas spirit doesn't have to be directly accosciated with religion. It's so sad that people try to be so politically correct that they miss the point of it and make Christmas a political struggle.

And schools go nuts about this stuff, and its not just Christmas they go batshit insane with the rules about. I'm in 8th grade and you need a permission slip to watch a PG movie in school. It's nuts.
