Around here places are no longer selling Christmas trees. They are selling Holiday trees instead. People refrain from using the term Christmas tree for fear of offending those who do not celebrate Christmas. I am unaware of any holiday during december that uses a Christmas tree, so why do we need to change the name?

Now, Christmas is the most main stread holiday out there. Not everyone celebrates it, but it is very highly advertised. If it is such a popular holiday why must the media deny it's meaning? It celebrates the birth of Christ, however people often dance around that because they do not want to offend others.

Should there be a new holiday for buying presents, one that has no religious ties? Or should Chirstmas be Christmas and not "The Winter Holiday"? I'd especially like to hear from those of you who do not celebrate Christmas.
