I've always found it funny that the anti-religious folks want to do away with any religious meaning or symbolism when it comes to holidays like Christmas and Easter, but they seem to have no problem when both public and private schools and workplaces close for the day and week in recognition of said holidays. |
Christmas and Easter are simply hijacked Pagan holidays largely celebrated by the non-religious. Just because I'm not Christian that means I shouldn't get the day off to celebrate with my family? I personally don't care about Jesus, I only want to spend time with family and friends because that's the most important aspect of this holiday. You know, if divisive Christians want to force Jesus back into the Winter Solstice than maybe they should also consider removing all of the Pagan symbolism, traditions and crass consumerism.
