Yeah, it might just have religious/cultural/historical significance again...
Yeah..and become a minor holiday without the colorful, pompous attributes.
Christmas in America starts on Halloween and ends January 2nd unless that day is a Saturday in which case it ends the 3rd.

Got Crazy?
What do you expect? Finland has a big ole stand alone cross on its' flag, "whilst" Britain has one with a big X on it.

It was December 24th on Hollis Ave in the dark
When I seen a man chilling with his dog in the park
I approached very slowly with my heart full of fear
Looked at his dog, oh my God, an ill reindeer
But then I was illin because the man had a beard
And a bag full of goodies, 12 o'clock had neared
So I turned my head a second and the man had gone
But he left his driver's wallet smack dead on the lawn
I picket the wallet up then I took a pause
Took out the license and it cold said "Santa Claus"
A million dollars in it, cold hundreds of G's
Enough to buy a boat and matching car with ease
But I'd never steal from Santa, cause that ain't right
So I'm going home to mail it back to him that night
But when I got home I bugged, cause under the tree
Was a letter from Santa and all the dough was for me
D.M.C. :
It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens
Mom's cooking chicken and collard greens
Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese
And Santa put gifts under Christmas trees
Decorate the house with lights at night
Snow's on the ground, snow white so bright
In the fireplace is the yule log
Beneath the mistle toe as we drink egg nog
The rhymes you hear are the rhymes of Darryl's
But each and every year we bust Chrsitmas carrols
(Christmas melodies)
Run-D.M.C. :
Rhymes so loud and prod you hear it
It's Christmas time and we got the spirit
Jack Frost chillin, the orchas out?
And that's what Christmas is all about
The time is now, the place is here
And the whole wide world is filled with cheer
D.M.C. :
My name's D.M.C. with the mic in my hand
And I'm chilling and coolin just like a snowman
So open your eyes, lend us an ear
We want to say
Run-D.M.C. :
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Drinking was, in fact, one of the biggest differences I noticed with Christmas Eve in Finland and Christmas Eve in Britain. In Finland, nobody goes to a pub on Christmas Eve (most of them are closed), but in Britain that's where the drinking starts!What do you expect? Finland has a big ole stand alone cross on its' flag, "whilst" Britain has one with a big X on it.
A curtsey to the Brits. A fine people they are.
In U.S.A, christmas is definitely a major holiday. Non-christians could care less about the holiday, they are interested in the discounted prices of goods. Business is a big part of christmas.
Christmas shouldn't evolve into a major thing in Israel though. It would be dangerous to Israel's identity. The minority who celebrate are welcome to celebrate, but Jewish Israelis should stay away.
