Christmas isn't a religious holiday for everyone anymore. Now, more and more
people celebrate christmas as a day to share and love, nothing to do with
whatever religious reasons other people might have to celebrate. I know I still
celebrate, but you will never see a religious book or symbol in my home, I'm
Atheist. That's why I thought it should be stated clearly that this was a
religious contest. It's more about the religious aspect of it than the
love-share aspect. Furthermore, I find it strange that they accpet submissions
about Santa Claus, when we know that this was originally a commercial character
made by Coca-Cola and that it has nothing to do with the religion. Oh well, I
might be mistaking on that too.
