I disagree. Christmas has, at least in this country, transitioned from a pure religious observance into a mainly secular commercial holiday. I have difficulty getting riled up about this, since Christmas was moved to December in order to coincide with Winter Solstice celebrations anyway. In my understanding, December 25th wasn't originally of special importance to anyone except pagans, and then only when the Solstice happened to fall on that day.
