Dont know about where you live in the world but here in yankee land, people avoid calling Christmas vacation/party/tree by its original name. The word Christmas has been replaced by the word Holiday.
It really irritates me to be honest. My thing is this that if we steal their religious day and start replacing all the affiliates of it with the word Holiday, would we like it if tomorrow they come after us and say that stop calling Eid, Eid .. and start calling it something Holiday too.
If you dont like the word Christmas, stay away from it, but dont change it please.
Also, I have a take on calling Christmas part (at the office), a holiday party...
In any IT office of USA where 90% workers are indians, its very common to have Deewali party, and no one objects. If in my office, 90% of the crowd is Christians, and they want to have a Christmas party, why should I have ants in my pants on that.
That day I came to know that the biscuits we Brits and Pakistanis talk about aren’t exactly the American version of biscuits. They call them cookies and their biscuits are a scone type baked bread
And the funny part is since I have moved to the UK, I keep getting this from people ‘did you study in an American school..your accent is very amreekan’ lol !
Although I think I have a very desi accent but the answer is simple ‘hollywood’
ok back to the topic…am the mod here.. NO off topic posts
they both have lights, tree/bush etc. i guess its simpler to just have a holiday tree that is lit instead of an xmas tree, a hanukka tree, a menorah and what not.

so just because we barbecue after Qurbani wali eid and on 4th of july, they both should be merged if happens to be in the same month
but the answer is simple ‘hollywood’
