My family is areligious/atheist. We have a tree, turkey, presents, my kids believe in Santa, etc. I assure you, a baby god born from a virgin in a farmhouse doesn't enter into it for us.

If this is the case then why do we always here stories about parents not wanting carols sung in schools? That workers at The Gap have to say "happy holidays"?
The religious aspect is WHY we have
CHRISTmas. Without Christmas there wouldn't be any "cultural" holiday. The main theme around this year is celebrating the birth of Christ. Everyone knows this. But we have to careful to not shove it down everyone's throats, and celebrate everyone's beliefs, even though it all started with Christians and
CHRISTmas.
