Despite my latest rant, I do agree with you that this largely isn't a religious holiday to most people anymore. What burns me is the group of people who use its widespread observance as some sort of proof that they're right, or that the US is Xtian. And even if it were purely secular, the crass commercialism would still tick me off. Let's call a hibernation/game con for the latter half of Dec, shall we?
