Catholics, along with most other christians, don't have to go around
complaining when other people celebrate their holy days. Catholics, and most
other christians don't have their lives taken over by Yom Kippur songs do
they? They aren't confronted with a band of pagans singing the joys of Mother
Earth from door to door on the Autumnal Equinox, are they? For Catholics and
most christians, it is all to easy to ignore other holy days. For atheists,
pagans, islamic peoples, jews, unitarians, and any other of the religions that
happen to have few enough members not to have that priveledge, Xmas is an
annoyance. Of course you don't "complain" when other religions have their
holidays. You probably don't even notice.
