I'm a little disappointed that the annual Sparring With The Infidels tradition hasn't really taken off 'this holiday'. My friend says her daughters' friends are all having "Winter Parties" this month -- I asked if that's the same as a Christmas Party and she didn't answer.
I'm also concerned that this article is feigning defeat. I haven't heard the word Christmas used on the television, and I'm still constantly cringing when I hear "This Holiday, give him the gift that..."
I never had a problem with Happy Holidays -- it was just an alternative way of saying the same thing. For variety. It's only the last few years that it started to be unacceptable to say anything else. Oh, and I don't mind "Holidays" so much, it's when they drop the 's' and make it just 'holiday', which invariably means Christmas, that I get real perturbed.
Actually, even in this, the joke is on the secularists. "Holiday" is a Middle English variant of the Old English haligdaeg, meaning, of course, "holy day". And holy days are those originally designed by the Catholic Church (in the West, and the Holy Orthodox in the East) for the remembrance of important events in the life of Christ. In particular, "Christmas" means, literally, the Mass of Christ.
Christianity is the bedrock of our culture, no matter how much the psuedo-intellectuals try to obscure that fact.
