LETTER: Why would someone be offended by Christmas?

Christmas is often referred to as 'The Holidays' even though non-Christians aren't offended by the word.
Christmas trees lined the halls of the Okotoks Recreation Centre in support of the Sheep River Health Trust.

Dear Editor, 

At this time of year, I become increasingly frustrated by the idiotic description of Christmas as "The Holidays.'' 

I have never met a person from a non-Christian background that was "offended" by not just the word Christmas but everything associated with this time of year. 

I would love to sit down with an offended person and ask them why they are offended and not by any of the other religious festivals such as Holi, Diwali, Eid ul-Fitr or Yom Kippur, to name a few. 

I'm very curious to know why.
