when in fact christians hijacked the winter solstice, sol invictus, yule and saturnalia, that have been going on for thousands of years, for different faiths and non religious organisiations?

It's not all of them. Just some of the zealots that try to start trouble by attempting to trick us.
Now, your question should have been, why can't they understand that there is more to the holiday season than Christmas (Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, etc.) and let places like Wal-Mart just recognize them all by saying Season's Greetings and Happy Holidays. Those particular people are just trying to push their religious holiday on others...and frankly, it's not very Christmas like...

Last time I checked with my pagan and wiccan friends, Yule and Winter Solstice and all those other ones, were celebrated on the winter solstice and we get Dec. 25. There are what, five holidays celebrated in December. Why complain over who has ancient rights to what when all of them are about good will and peace.

It's more about NOT taking part. People are actually talking about removing Dec 25th as a paid holiday.
Christians have never objected to other religions having festivals and local areas supporting them.
Tell me, would ATHEISTS oppose Diwalli if local areas gave up some area for the festival each year.

I don't know but i'm sick of hearing about it every year....
They stole 90% of there holliday traditions from others in attempts to convert people...... they have very little at all acutal christian traditions..
They have no right to whine that people are stealing christmass from them.

As long as you do not GRIPE about me observing Christmas as the birth of Christ, you can observe it however you want, just don't take away my right to publicly observe it in my own way as the birth of Christ.

Please do not lump all Christians in one category. I personally do not give a rats butt what anyone does. It is their Choice. Do want you want. Don't judge me. Enjoy our Freedom while we still have it.
