Claiming that Christmas has nothing to do with Christianity is ridiculous. We've been around that circle many times in this thread and it may be true for many families, but not recognizing it as having religious significance is foolhardy.

Santa Claus, shopping yourself into debt and throwing parties has nothing to to with Christianity. There are religious aspects of the day for religious people, and non-religious aspects for non religious. But it is still legally Christmas according to the government, and people are free to celebrate or not as they so choose.
So far, the one and only reason that has been presented on why it is wrong for city services to wish people a merry Christmas is "because I say so".
