Especially in the US and UK.
In these countries, you can't organise carol concerts in some schools for fear of offending someone or another. You can't mention Christmas without mentioning Hannukah and Kwanza too. And finally, the Christmas Holiday is renamed "Winter Vacation" for reasons of "inclusiveness". Bah!
By the way, I'm Buddhist and I lived in Hong Kong for 5 years. In Hong Kong, I celebrated Christmas, my school celebrated Christmas. We sang carols, we decked our halls with broughs of holly... we even had a creche. And no, we weren't Christian, but by god, WE HAD FUN!
So why are some people, especially Jews and Muslims, so sensitive about Christmas? Why not just go along with the flow and have fun?
Hey, I'm Buddhist, and I love Christmas. I always wish everyone a "Merry Christmas" and I'll always call it the "Christmas Holiday" and never "Winter Vacation".
