Tapas, while I agree with the sentiment that there is nothing wrong with calling a holiday by it's name, I'm always a little leary of using (hard to verify) statistics to justify it (or anything else of a socially or politically sensitive nature). For instance, in your "World" statistics, when exactly did "Chinese" become a religion? Maybe those 1 Billion + need to go into another category????? Anyhoo, Merry Christmas to all who celebrate that holiday and Happy Holidays to the rest (whatever their number).

Peace,
