What's really funny about Christmas being a subject for religious debate:
1. It isn't a Christian holiday - Despite popular belief, Christmas wasn't created by Christians, it was adopted as a way to convert Pagans so they wouldn't have to give up their traditions.
2. Christmas was originally to worship the pine tree, as it had the power to stay green all year long, and seemed magical to the Pagan people.
3. Everyone can relate to Santa Clause, even if he isn't real. Santa Clause actually was originally a real person who was simply trying to give children toys, when the tyrannical king declared toys to be evil.

Where are you getting this information. That is completely wrong...
Anyway, I think seasonal updates would be interesting, but it would be hard to prevent such debates...
