Should Christmas time be renamed 'Festival of America'?

[purplepoppy]

Christmas isn't really a Christian festival anymore. Few people go to church on the day, and it's spent breaking the seven deadly sins.

So isn't it time Trump rebranded it The Festival of America? Perhaps even replacing the day itself with Trumpday.

After all, Christmas is a European holiday about a middle Eastern man so shouldn't the US version reflect American values? In multicultural America this could be something everyone could get behind rather than that "happy holidays" crap.

I don't know what you Europeans have done to bastardize Jesus but here in America our batshit crazy Evangelical Christians don't worship some dark haired dark skinned middle eastern guy with brown eyes.

Here in the land of exceptional delusions we worship white skinned, blonde haired, blue eyed, White Baby Jesus. Because that's what God intended.

And Christmas is an orgy of Capitalist Consumerism. Nothing less will be tolerated. Christmas is retail rocket fuel... praise the lord! God bless the Holy Profits!

It may as well be, seeing as how many American Christians seem to believe that Jesus was a white guy that votes Republican by shooting the ballot with his AR-15, died for the NRA's sins, and personally chose the US as his favored country 1800 years before it existed, but only the parts with white people living in it.

No

But Santa Claus - Coca Cola inspired

Should be replaced by the

CHRISTKIND

angellike woman with blond hair and shines so bright and looks so kind

Sad that most kids in Germany don't know the Christkind anymore. It is culture that is getting lost...

Some of us possess the knowledge of keeping Christmas well

@purplepoppy I know you have good intentions, but please don't give him any more ideas. There are already too many Executive Orders, from a whole list of Presidents. 😐

Literally MILLIONS of people go to church to celebrate the birth of Christ on December 25, however misdirected.
Any suggestion that “nobody goes to church on the day” is absolutely absurd.
Dafuq?

don't give him more ideas...

Leave Christmas alone. If that dementia laden old fool wants a winter festival he can make up a new holiday.

That's for church to decide, it's not a secular holiday.

[Paige90]

[Shiprex]
