Let's take that one a step further then.
Here in BC, Canada (and in several other provinces) we have what is called "Family Day" ... it's a paid holiday. Now, if you don't have a family, get back to work! LOL
Really, they are getting their "religious" day off with pay ... it just so happens that THAT day is Dec 25th.
As for the Athiests (like me), Dec 25th is for when Santa Claus comes.
(now let's not go turning this into a religious debate coz we all know what will happen then.... right Don?)
