It has, however, become commercialized by the American shopping ethos and is celebrated as much by the secular population as by the retail industry who thrive because of it.  ???? 203.211.68.196 23:25, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Simplify

This is simple english wikipedia. Take the 850 word list and replace all words not in there by words in there, while not changing the sense. Things worth linking should be linked.

ALso lean to use sectioning, and interlinking

[edit] NPOV

This article seems to take a clear pro-Christian, anti-commericial view. 69.204.116.80 13:48, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I Agree

I agree that this article is pro-Christian. But so what? How far are bigots to take their religious intolerance? Cannot a faith that is nearly a Billion people strong have a "pro-Christian" explanation about one of their most sacred holidays... HOLY DAY?


Christmas is a holiday for Christians that celebrates the birth of Christ. So it should be all about Christians. It's a religous holiday. Create an entry for the "Holiday Season" for all the non believers...

[edit] Religious Christians have a month of fasting...

This part of the information was completely out of line, so I corrected it to include the word "Some".


  • Should say Orthodox instead of some. All Christians are "religious".

Incorrect explanation of the origin of the word "Christmas"

Kris Kringle is NOT a Germanic god, but an English mispronunciation of Christkind, a German word that means "the baby Jesus".

plus one or two grammar errors

Plus, "Xmas" is disputed as X means Chist also, the part about the retail indstry needs to be removed until it can site a source... Or both sides...
