I for one am greatful that there is a knowledge that people understand that some do not celebrate christmas. Some people do give gifts but with no religous meaning behind it. However others do and it is there right to be able to. By doing it in there own home and showing it in the streets. There is nothing wrong with showing how you feel and what you believe. It is one of the rights that this country of ours is founded on. We can not take away the right to express themselves or their religion. If we are to do this than we are no better than any other country.
