What I mean is: I don't mind using the term Christmas (or Xmas, if I want to annoy my more religious friends). But I support what you're doing here. If people are more comfortable with something completely irreligious--more power to 'em. For me, Santa and Frosty and yule logs and all that are completely harmless.

The idea of being able to assemble one's loved ones for an airing of grievances is simply too good to pass up.
