It is totally absurd to remove the very reason the holiday began! and just one other quick observation.... if you don't live in America, don't insult us with your opinion of what it's like to be a citizen here.... and I will give you the same respect.
People are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light within.
turn your lights on
Merry Christmas everyone... and peace on earth, goodwill to women, and men.
