I would agree. It’s ironic though, Christians saying that we need to keep the focus on Christ and not secular consumerism, when the history of Christmas is really much more about the Catholic Church co-opting pagan traditions
That’s why you’ve gotta work hard on keeping Christ in Christmas: he keeps running away to play with the pagans. Next thing you know, he’s balls deep in Easter again.
I generally think of “Christ in Christmas” as a reminder about consumerism, not hate for Hanukkah, etc.
