This has never happened in all my life. The first Easter (as well as the first Christmas) was celebrated in Rome, is based on astrology and has never had squat doodle to do with Jesus except as the SUN of god. But christians still act like they're trying to take back what has never been theirs.
I don't think any christian actually believes the Dec. 25 is Jesus's actual birthday, anyone who knows anything about church history knows that it was the newly converted Roman Christians that incorporated their pagan practices into Christianity after the Jews (which included the Christian Jews) were expelled from Rome.
So what do you want Christians to do, tell the kids they'll no longer celebrate Christmas?
