A. That changes every year.
B. It's not signed into US law, but Christmas is. By law it's Christmas Break, but of course we can't ADMIT it because it's politcally incorrect to say something that might "offend" someone, saying that something is what it is.

The 1800s, For celebrating Kwanzaa you'd be killed back then.

Does it matter? No, it doesn't. It's law that it's Christmas Break. If you have a problem with it and can't accept it, take it to the Supreme Court.

That is a good point, but now our society is WAY too politcally correct. Politcal correctness reigns.

I'd say it matters. They were biased back then, and their judgment was clouded,  I'd hardly call their decesion fair. I personally don't care, it's the break that matters, not the reason, after all. But that goes back to the fact that Christmas is a national holiday. Therefore, we're all celebrating it, technically. I suppose all those Jews/Hindus/Muslims/Atheists etc. are being quite rude by celebrating it, yet not celebrating Jesus.

but like I said before... lets say Jesus was having a big ole' birthday party at his house on December 25th... and say that these "others" (Jews/Hindu/Muslim/Atheists) heard that Jesus was having a party, but didn't know that it was a birthday party and showed up without any gifts to bear him... he'd still let them come in to join the party. Am I correct or aren't I, RM?
