It is still an incredibly uncomfortable non-separation of church and state.

Unless maybe we are just going to rename it santa-mas and celebrate it on solstice.




Next super scary word: "Holiday" which comes from, get this, Holy Day!

> "The word holiday comes from the Old English word hāligdæg (hālig "holy" + dæg "day")"


> rename it santa-mas

If you really want to go that way, it would be a good idea to also get rid of the -mas ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_(liturgy) )


Santa is a Christian figure, now?

He's an amalgamation of various European Christmas myth figures.


Which holiday does Santa represent?

A non-denominational holiday?

Stop playing coy.

If you rename Christ-mas, you can have the government endorse Santa all you want and I won't complain.
