The thing is you being 'polite' to everyone except Christians, our beliefs, our traditions, and our holiday. what's more you have taken a day we have adopted to celibrate the birth of Christ, and devalued it. You take the tradition commericialize it and strip all of it's meaning. What other religion can soceity take a sacred day from, takes it's key elements/practices and discard the rest while going through the motions/rituals, and it not be mocked?

You not being polite. You are making a political statement that devaules a very specific religion and those who believe or want to set apart december 25 as being the day Christ was born.
