A great many North Americans and people around the world have great faith in Him. Canada as well as the USA and other countries based a lot of their Constitutions and laws on Christian values. This great many(majority) celebrate Jesus' birth on Dec. 25.
Up until this especially intelligent and perceptive generation came along , it was looked at as common place and very acceptable to wish your neighbors and acquaintances a "Merry Christmas" at this time of year.
It seemed they were a lot more joyful about the holiday and celebration, as well.
P.S. I don't recall these people having a hissy fit about other faiths celebrating their beliefs.
