#1 Actually they're all pagan stuff "absorbed" by catholic churches then redone at various times by the victorians etc.

#3 Back in elementary school during the Cretaceous Era, we made decorations out of construction paper and put them up on the walls - Easter, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas and Hanuka depending on the season. (Kwanza hadn't been invented yet) It was a public school but no one seemed to have a cow over any of it.

And our school's Jewish students helped, too. We helped them decorate during Hanukkah and a couple other Jewish Holidays. Black, White, Asian, it didn't matter. We were kids.

#8 And our school's Jewish students helped, too.

Yes, we as happily helped celebrate your holidays as our own. A distinct pleasure of being American is making something once uniquely Other part of the nation’s traditions. St. Patrick’s Day, spaghetti, and pizza come to mind. Even Buffalo wings, which in living memory were the speciality of a single jazz bar in Buffalo, New York.
