If they wanted Jesus' birthday to be more special, they shouldn't have moved it to the winter solstice in order to help convert all the other groups that celebrated at the same time. You want to complain about devaluing Christmas by not specifically saying Merry Christmas? That goes both ways, you know. You need to learn to share.
