How Christians ruin Christmas

Why do Christians feel the need to sabotage the holiday spirit? Recently a baptist church in Dallas made the paper because it's lead pastor published a website denigrating certain local business which the Church felt were not in line with thier religious beliefs. The offenses are not serious, usually an establishment is attacked because the post the holiday greeting of "happy holidays" rather that "merry Christmas". Where are we a as society that we cannot give the seasonal equivalent of good morning" without being labeled as a religious outcast? Happy holidays is in fact, in my opinion, the best greeting since it includes thanksgiving, and New Years, along of course with Hanukkah and Ramadan, which sometimes falls in the autumn. Happy holidays is a mere goodwill wish, which is after all the entire point of Christmas. And of course, people who are like minded with this certain Pastor don;t wish to learn that christmas is a pagan holiday, originating from when northern and western Europe were being converted, and people wanted to keep their yule time festival, so the christians made it a celebration of Christ's birth. They do not wish to hear this. And regardless, Christmas is not about presents, commercialization, or even Jesus, its about the spirit of giving, family, and goodwill. A time for us all to appreciate the good things in life, and to celebrate out good fortune by giving to out friends, family, and to those less fortunate. I wish not to be judged on whether i went to church or by hoe many Christmas carols i sung, but rather by how much I gave to others, and how much I strove to make others Happy. that's what Christmas is all about, not which holiday greeting i gave out.
