Here are examples of the efforts of some religious folks to keep the Christ in Christmas. makes me really wonder what it is we think the incarnation (word becoming flesh) is all about. But religion requires this kind of response.
First the CHRIST-mas tree from Boss creations
“When I became a Christian a few years ago,” says Boggs, “I was appalled by the secularization of the Christmas holiday. When retail stores started substituting ‘Happy Holidays’ for ‘Merry Christmas,’ and schools began calling their Christmas programs ‘Winter Plays,’ it all seemed ridiculous to me. That’s why we have created products that remind people what the Christmas season is really all about – the birth of Christ.”
Then Jesus shoots Santa to make the point about the true meaning of Christmas

Something seems wrong with that picture. What is the faithful response to keeping the true spirit of Christmas in a post religious world.
