Christmas

Does anybody else feel like they're not in Christmas spirit this year? because I certainly don't. Something that upsets me this year is I'm getting my privilege of saying "Merry Christmas!" Everybody is all of a sudden offended and says, "NO, IT'S HAPPY HOLIDAYS!" Well what I think is, I don't celebrate Hanukkah or whatever all of you other people would wish to celebrate this year, so please just let me say Merry Christmas. Like I'm not telling you to be a Catholic like I am! I'm just simply saying Merry Christmas. And I've definitely noticed that so many atheists celebrate Christmas, which makes no sense what so ever. In case all of you atheists forgot, this holiday is for the birth of Jesus; it's not for presents, and not to get drunk and such. It's a day to remember when Jesus was born. The tradition has really just went down the toilet these days. I respect your opinion on how you don't want to believe in God, but now you're just making Christmas have a whole new meaning!! You should just make up your own atheist holiday. Then you can do whatever the heck you want. About the Christmas Tree, I don't understand why there has to be such a big jiffy about whether you call it a Christmas tree or a holiday tree. Call it whatever you want! It won't inflict with any other person in the world on what they want to call it. Like what Bill O'Reilly  did to Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee. O'Reilly makes some very stupid statements in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvvBv8imuCw This video definitely makes me lose hope for plenty of reasons. First of all, he calls Christianity a "philosophy" What's that supposed to mean?! Christianity is the base religion that makes up plenty of other religions!!! Second of all, he makes Governor Chafee feel like the low of the low just for calling said tree a "holiday tree" Why does Bill have to make it such a big deal is beyond me! And just the way he speaks in this video makes him sound very uneducated and makes me very heated that he is speaking to our society with his nonsense.
