The Western culture's celebration of Christmas has been occurring since the mid 300's A.D. Chirst's Mass. The coming of Christ.
Christ Himself preached love thy neighbor as thyself, although this is often quite difficult.
I see the original question of the thread as this. If this has been happening continuously this long, why does it seem that it gets excluded in the name of "diversity?" The "Holiday Program" etc. with everything BUT Christmas is just that. It's no longer "inclusive" it's "inclusive of everything but Christmas," to the point of changing the name of the season.
I wonder about this as well. I could really go political about agenda groups and inclusivity, but that's not allowed and I don't want to ruin a good deeply intellectual discussion.
Another really good example of this phenomenon, is the recent news that the ChristKindelFest (Christ Child Festival) in Chicago will not include the new film "The Nativity." If that doesn't put the grass right down where the cows can get at it, nothing does.
