i think christmas has become so much of a secular tradition/holiday that it really doesn't matter if you aren't christian. When we celebrate it i don't even think about jesus or anything, i think about spending time with people, and giving gifts and wahtever to them. I don't think it has to be a religious holiday even though it originated from that. It's so secular now, she does have a point though about how we are raised not even knowing what christmas is really. I didn't know for awhile what it was about. I don't think my disregard for it's religious origin makes me ignorant of it though. i acknowledge it, but i see it as a secular tradition, and a religious one. I think it's ignorant to limit it to religion.
just like valentine's day, it's become rather secular, and i don't see why people can't celebrate the tradition without being catholic or whatever the origin of that is. It has new meanings to different people.
