Basically the fact that others celebrate this season differently should cause some Christians to be so reactionary or horrified by it - different denomonations and faiths all have Holy celebrations now; so why not react with tolerance instead of horror, or decrying the fact "it's anti-Christian"?

I think not. The "holiday" parties, etc, to which I am referring were previously called Christmas Parties, Christmas parades, Christmas concerts, Christmas cards for one patently obvious reason - they were being celebrated, marched, performed, and mailed by people celebrating a Christian holiday. Now they have to walk on eggshells to avoid "offending" a non-Christian with the mere mention of the word "Christmas".
It seems to me that the last socially-acceptable bias in society is against Christians. One needs only to watch the Southpark episode where a statue of the Virgin Mary "bleeds out her ass" to come to this conclusion. Accordingly, all of the Christmas idiocy is not because of some warm and fuzzy desire to include all, but rather to exclude the Christian influence on the holidays.
