There is more than one (Protestant) Christian sect that doesn't beleive that Christmas is anything other than a pagan festival co-opted by the Catholic Church in it's early days, and therefore they don't celebrate it. Or Halloween, or the bunnies and chickies and chocolate aspects of Easter.

To wit: Against Pagan and Roman Catholic Holy Days (Holidays) Like Christmas and Easter.

For people who don't go for Christmas (or "Christmass," as they dub it), they sure do like their red and green text markup.

If you are referring to my Egyptian: he's not that kind. He's the kind that becomes Muslim the minute his feet touch Egyptian soil. The kind that the more you know the more you realize you don't want to know!

It would actually make a very interesting study in sociology!!
