As a Catholic who celebrates Christmas: Christmas is and has always been a Christian holiday. It is a religious holiday. It is not and will never be a secular holiday. So non Christians and non religious people have every right to not celebrate Christmas, and you cannot make them. There is no war on Christmas. Freedom of religion is in the Constitution. Y'all need to get over yourselves. Spend your time on having fun with it rather than worry about what others are doing or not doing. Joy to the world and angels we have heard on high.

Please reblog and tag with your answer and what country you live in/grew up in! Would be greatly appreciated :)
Also I know I could have included more holidays but this is something I just thought of off the top of my head while writing about Halloween and Día de los Muertos and I feel like the origins of Halloween are forgotten by a lot of people, so I wanted to make a poll about it.
Tho I do feel like Tumblr is exactly the crowd that would know, I'm a curious person lol-

'Tis the season to unpack some stuff about Christmas from a minority perspective:
Christmas is a Christian holiday. The fact that many celebrate it in an irreligious way (which is valid!) does not change its origins, connotations, symbolism, nor what it has historically meant for religious minorities.
The idea that Christmas is "secular" (read: neutral) is a product of Christian hegemony and the blindness of many in Christian countries to the permeation of Christianity as "default" culture.
When someone says they don't celebrate Christmas since it's a Christian holiday, it is not actually reassuring or helpful to say something along the lines of "oh well it's just a secular day of family & presents for everyone! So you can celebrate it too!"
Though the above statement is usually well-intentioned, it is often distressing to hear because it is untrue and is erasing our lived experiences. The reflexive effort to make Christmas universal is a cultural reverberation of the millennia-old evangelizing effort to make Christianity universal, and as such, can be very uncomfortable for religious minorities.

מריה הידעת?
I translated this song differently than most, I tried to preserve the rhyme and rhythem to make it singable, and so I changed a few words
youtube
מריה הידעת כי בנך הקט יום אחד ילך על מי כינרת? מריה הידעת כי בנך הקט יציל לנו השושלת? הידעת כי בנך הקט בא לחדש אותך? הילד ששלחת מחלצייך בקרוב ישלח אותך
מריה הידעת כי בנך הקט ייתן ראי לאיש עוור? מריה הידעת כי בנך הקט ירגיע בידו יום סוער? הידעת? כי בנך הקט הלך במקום פסיעת מלאכים? בנשקך בנך הקטן את מנשקת את פני אלוהים
מריה הידעת?
העוורים יראו החרשים ישמעו ממוות, מתים יעלה הצולעים ידלגו האילמים יאמרו את שבחי הטלה
מריה הידעת שבנך הקט הוא אדון כל יצר? מריה הידעת שבנך הקט למלכי גוים יחליף נצר? הידעת שבנך הקט הוא הטלה המושלם של מעלה? הילד הישן שאת מחזיקה הוא "אנכי ה'" רב המעלה
הו מרי, הידעת?
Here's a literal translation if that's what you seek, which is my usual style:
מריה הידעת כי בנך התינוק יום אחד ילך על מים? מריה הידעת כי בנך התינוק יציל את בנינו ובנותינו? הידעת כי בנך התינוק בא לחדש אותך? הילד אשר ילדת בקרוב ישלח אותך
מריה הידעת כי בנך התינוק ייתן ראי לאיש עוור? מריה הידעת כי בנך התינוק ירגיע את הסופה עם ידו? הידעת? כי בנך התינוק הלך במקום בו מלאכים פסעו? כשאת מנשקת את בנך הקטן את מנשקת את פני אלוהים
מריה הידעת?
העוורים יראו החרשים ישמעו המתים יחיו שוב הצולעים ידלגו האילמים יאמרו את שבחי הטלה
מריה הידעת כי בנך התינוק הוא אדון כל הבריאה? מריה הידעת כי בנך התינוק יום אחד ישלוט בגויים? הידעת כי בנך התינוק הוא הטלה המושלם של גן העדן הילד הישן שאת מחזיקה הוא ה"אנכי" האדיר (במקור, אהיה אשר אהיה, ניסיתי עם אנכי מ אנכי ה' אלוהיך כדי לשמור משמעות)
הו מריה הידעת?

Absolutely insane that all of the articles online about what stores are open or closed on Easter (important information if you happen to be Jewish or any other form of non-Christian) start off with like a full paragraph introduction to Easter. These are American news sources. Do they...do they think maybe I'm unaware of what Easter is and need the information?? It's ok to just give me a list of stores that are open. That is literally what I am looking for.
from USA Today : "The holiday is an important one for millions of people around the world who follow the Christian faith, as it celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ after a 40-day period known as Lent."
From CNN : "On Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion. It is also the end of the 40-day penance period, Lent. Good Friday marks the day Jesus died on the cross, and is celebrated the Friday before Easter."
AP News : "Easter is a Christian holiday, and also an occasion for dyed eggs and chocolate bunnies left by an illusive rabbit."
