I agree with the first...about it not being about Christ; I mean take Christ out of Christmas...its...nothing...

but umm; the separation between Church and state..are you sure what they completely meant by that? The school was run by the church back then,so they implemented this so the Government in the future couldnt take over the school/church...(reason for this is bc of the past abuse of the Catholics in europe) Its being used in the public now in a way it wasnt meant to be used.

I believe its perfectly fine that this is a National holiday. (especially with the majority of the people claiming to be Christians) and look at it this way..This country was found on Bible beliefs, so in other words; look at it as an honor to our History)

but other than that; its Christmas!!! Be happy and forget the ignorance of Humanity just for one day; ok?
