davis_squareI was wasting time browsing the SN site and saw this poll (Today's Poll):
Should the word “Christmas” be taken out of all things pertaining to “Christmas” and replaced with the word “Holiday”?
Given that there are many kinds of holidays around the same time, and that there are people from many religions (including atheists) in Somerville, isn't it obvious that referring to this period as "Christmas" would exclude many people? What am I missing? Glad that "YES" is winning, but not by much.
