  1. Well , the break exists precisely because it is Christmas . No requirement to celebrate it , if you so wish , but it is a Christmas break , nonetheless

  2. ​ @yomomscouch2841  Celebrate the break as you so wish , but acknowledge that it exists because of Christmas 🎄

  3. ​ @Cupid-Stunt  Never in the United States

  4. ​ @Cupid-Stunt  Not when it comes to the history and traditions of the United States . The U.S. simply didn't exist before 1776

  5. ​ @Cupid-Stunt  I speak of U.S. traditions and customs only , which began in 1776 . Before then , there was no United States to speak of

  6. Should our Independence Day holiday be used to celebrate the independence of ALL nations ? 🤔

  7. ​ @winsomemartinez  When you say " picked up steam " , what you really mean is that it became more commercialized . Christians living in the United States have always celebrated the holiday .

  9. ​​ @nonameissafer.8457  I'm an atheist , however I do acknowledge that the break has existed in the United States because it is when Christmas is celebrated . Accept it

  10. ​ @Cupid-Stunt Let's stop modifying holidays just to placate all groups of people . Look what's been done to Columbus Day . Christmas has always been celebrated in the U.S.

  11. ​ @winsomemartinez  I'm an atheist , so I much prefer the commercialized version

  12. ​​ @promethiac2641  Let's decide " President's Day " isn't inclusive and celebrate " Elected officials day " instead 👍

  13. ​ @nonameissafer.8457  You are not required to celebrate the holiday but do acknowledge that it is a " break " precisely because of Christmas

  14. ​ @nonameissafer.8457  The holiday came to exist in the United States because Christmas was celebrated during this time . Other nations have an Independence Day as well

  15. ​ @nonameissafer.8457  I don't recall ever reading how the United States celebrated Chanukah

  16. ​ @nonameissafer.8457 We've included it in the all encompassing " holiday " term , but was never celebrated by America until quite recently as a ' feel good ' measure

  17. ​ @nonameissafer.8457  Not by Christians , who as a group , primarily ruled the U.S. Other groups have been placate to include their " holiday " into the celebrations

  18. ​​​​​ @nonameissafer.8457  You seriously believe that our nation as a whole celebrated Kwanza ? Or Chanukah? Who's the fool again ? I'm not in favor of political correctness being applied to everything . You go on believing that the federal holiday , when first implemented , was meant to include all beliefs and traditions and that our current populace isn't trying to modify the holiday to become inclusive and less offensive

  19. ​@nonameissafer.845 For whatever nefarious reasons , it became a " Christmas " break . That's my only point . The break was not meant to Celebrate other religions until quite recently . I'm young , and even I remember all the signs denoting " Christmas " .

  20. ​ @winsomemartinez  Federal holidays came much later in U.S. history . Before that , states decided holidays and Dec 25th was denoted as Christmas

  21. ​ @winsomemartinez  It was called a " Christmas " break for many years until it was decided that we should be more politically correct

  22. ​ @promethiac2641  They are better celebrated when one is off the entire day from school or work
