to show this man that it is a pagan holiday and has nothing to do with Jesus at all ( Jeremiah the 10th chapter)

The biggest threat would be if people forget where the holiday came from and what it means. (Christ being born).
I also love the whole Santa Claus part of it too (which also came from Saint Nicholas), but all of it is being threatened by the Materialistic gift-giving and the sick hordes of people just using the Holiday (Holy-day) to spend lots of money on material possessions. (Playstations, Cell phones, Hi-Def Tv's, Diamonds....etc)
If you are Christian, make sure to Acknowledge the Birth of Christ. If you are not, try to be greatful for what you have in this world - your health, friends, family, food. And try opening your heart and giving something of real importance to those who really need it, like Food, clothing, your ear to listen, your love and your time.

I have been told it is me and those like me - dangerous Liberals who spout such nonsense as respect, tolerance and unity. Sorry.
I personally don't see any threat to Christmas - it's lovely time of year and more and more people (through their own customs) embrace the important ideals of love, peace and harmony at this time of year. Christmas is safe in my book!
Peace!

The ACLU. This immoral group of dope smoking secularist atheists is responsible for the war on Christmas by litigating against nativity scenes, Christmas music programs and trying to take God out of the country. Its interesting that the ACLU has not won a single case in this area, but has created so much pressure on society that it gradually began removing "Christmas." As the pressure mounted, even companies started advertising differently by leaving Christmas out and stating happy holidays instead. The tide began to turn last year when this war on Christmas went to far and there was a backlash. Schools began to keep their Christmas programs, companies began to advertise Christmas again this year and the ACLU is in retreat.
Merry Christmas!

With Christ as our Savior, what threat could possibly compare to the Son of God?!
Annoyances maybe the ACLU, atheists wishing to be rude?
