Um, there are a LOT of other holidays that are accepted, for example, Hannukah (sp?), Rosh Hasanah (sp? sorry terrible at spelling for jewish holiday
 ), and etc, but I don't think it's unfair that there are christian holidays that are being recognized by America. Afterall, no one is complaining about it and life is just okay for now. In fact, American celebrates any special holiday. In fact, I got 5 day offs on the first week of October because of a Jewish Holiday. The only Christian Holiday I know that we get a day-off for in America is Christmas and Good Friday...
