Two things:
1) Richard, you are wrong. Christians are the ones secularizing XMAS
Christians are what, 65%-80% of the population of the country?
2) Catholics are a minority in the U.S. In fact, the KKK, although more
infamous and active in persecuting Jews, also targets Catholics.
It just so happens that there seem to be quite a few Catholics involved
in this discussion.
I like the idea of two holidays, one religious, one secular. It gives the
possibility of everybody getting what they want.
Of course, none of my ideas have a snowball's chance in hell (apologies for
those who don't believe in Hell :-) (oops, apologies *to* not for) of
being implemented since the Congress is mostly WASPs.
