Once again, this is not the point. If I am jewish and I am a partner at the firm, I am not throwing a Christmas party because I do not celebrate Christmas. I also know that other people who own and work at the firm do not celebrate Christmas. Therefore, I throw a party that is inclusive of everyone because I'm not going to have a Passover party or a Kwanzaa celebration and I'm not going to force everyone to fast for Ramadan (or however it's spelled).
And the party is thrown in December because more people celebrate Christmas and so it makes sense to center the holiday party around the time of year that most people celebrate. But that doesn't mean we only have to recognize one type of celebration.
Kids in New York's public schools get all the jewish holidays off, jewish or not, so whatever. Your quote doesn't make any sense in the context of this argument anyway.
Right. Because if there were no Christmas, we probably wouldn't come up with another way to guilt everyone into spending a bunch of money on gifts at year-end.
Why the fuck do I have to call it a Christmas party to witness or enjoy any of that?

Not for nothing but I've been to Bastille Day parties, and I'm not French, nor were 99% of the people there. But if they call it a Bastille Day party, it is. And you don't even have to be French to
throw it.
