What’s in a name?
Surely people cannot be so ignorant as not to know what ‘Christmas’ is in the debate over crèches? The birth of Christ, Christian, turned into a secular holiday in which everyone, I believe, participates.
‘Happy Holidays’ is not what it is about. If other religions can celebrate their holy days, why are people so bigoted towards the birth of Christ?
It is a Christian holiday – so yes, I’m pleased nativity scenes are allowed.
