War on Christmas
Hi there,
I'm part of the anti-Christmas Coalition, who have been campaigning for the last few years to destroy Christmas across the world. We have been concentrating our forces in America, since this is the land that most actively promotes Christmas as both a commercial and religious holiday. We are an anti-capitalism and anti-religion group, who see an attack on Christmas as being a two-birds-with-one-stone job.
Anyway, my request for advice is this: how can we better prosecute our War on Christmas through legal means? We'd love to wring Bill O'Reilly's neck, obviously, along with the necks of a number of other prominent Christian commentators, but if we are to survive and spread our campaigns, we need to be out of jail. Already we've come up with the obvious one (the ending of 25th December as a Federal holiday, for which we use the argument that this violates the Church-State separation guaranteed in the Constitution), but need more ideas.
So could we get some suggestions?

There is NO way to stop Christmas. It's like trying to stop the tide from comming in. Too many people celebrate Christmas for it to be "destroyed" and anyways, every Christian would take off on the 25th even if it wasn't a holiday because it's their religion.
Oh and I, personally, am offended by your question. It's just like saying "How do I stop people that aren't caucasion from going to my school?" or something along those lines. So I'm pretty sure you will get a lot of angry answers.
Just stop being such a Scrooge and deal with it.

To be perfectly honest, I think you should just give up. You can try to campaign, but people will laugh and won't give it a second thought. Christmas is a traditional holiday. If you don't like religion, that's your business. Billions of people are Christian and celebrate Christmas. It's been around for thousands of years. If you don't like Christmas, you don't have to. There are many people who don't. But whether you like it or not, Christmas is an industry. You might as well try to stop the stock market. Many countries in Latin America are Catholic countries and will forever celebrate Christmas, no matter how hard your organization tries. Be realistic. You're not going to change almost a whole continent.
