Getting rid of Christmas as National Holiday. Agree?

Baby Jesus is crying right now. 

I'd rather rid ourselves of King, Washington, Labor and Columbus days.  Just a bullsh**t reason for the gubmit to close, along with the banks.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Does this guy seriously not realize that a public holiday to celebrate a specific election victory for His Side is ten times more sectarian an idea than Christmas? If not, it's impossible to take anything else he has to say on this topic at anything resembling face value.

Before I became a Christian, I still celebrated Christmas.  Even ignoring the cringy "atheism will win" takes in this article, the vast majority of non-religious people (who aren't of Jewish/Muslim/etc. backgrounds) are still going to want to celebrate Christmas.

Yea but you can celebrate with Winter Solstice.  Serving the same purpose  without the baggage of any ties to organized religion or historical atrocities.

At this moment of history Christmas is look as right-wing scapegoat, a way of continuing a tradition imposed by right-wing Christian nationalists who seek to make the world like 1954. That group watches Fox News. Those are the most strident defenders of Donald Trump. Christmas is a celebration of all that is wrong with America. We need a holiday that seeks the pleasure of companions in our lives without any commercialization ruining the celebratory aspects of the holiday.

Or, you can celebrate Winter Solstice by yourself and stop these cringy efforts to get the rest of the population to have such a weird hate boner for religion.

If anything, Good Friday needs to be a national holiday. Not necessarily because of Christianity, but to plug the massive hole in the current holiday calendar between MLK and Memorial Day.
