How thick are you?
Christmas, it sort of gives you a clue, it isn't multicultural it is a celebration for Christian's for the birth of their Messiah.
The guy they celebrate does feature in other religions but in a lesser role, he is recognised by, for example Jews & Muslims, but isn't the son of God.
Christianity, Judaism or being a Muslim isn't an interfaith thing, they have similarities but they have differences.
To say to a Christian become multicultural must surely be as much of an insult as to force other religions to celebrate Christmas against their will.
The idea surely is tolerance?
When a Christian celebrates Christmas, the others say, good luck to you have a good time, they don't expect or want a compromise, you enjoy your beliefs, lets all thank our respective God(s) that society allows us all to celebrate in our own idealistic ways without the threat of being hung drawn & quartered.
