I don't see any "Christ" there; there's not one religious thing. There's no Nativity scenes, no crosses, not even the word "Christmas" anywhere. If it weren't for the Santa hat, that could be anywhere, anytime. |
i didn't say it was. just saying that "christmas" is not under assault, as you claimed. |

Why not just hijack something about peace and good will, and turn it into an orgy of materialism and gluttony?

Not allowed to say "Christ", but we could call it Winterval!

You're only not allowed to say Christ in relation to perceived religious intolerance of the minority. Since this is in reference to an orgy of materialism and gluttony, it is perfectly OK. Especially since it indicts the intolerance of the majority.

How would I know; did somebody say you were? Everything is not about you. I do think Western culture in general is doing that, though.
