Initially I thought it was plain silly that at Cornell people don’t wish you a happy Christmas but a happy holiday or winter break because they wouldn’t want to assume that you’re Christian. I thought that it was a very silly way of understanding political correctness (bleh). Then when I saw the amounts of Asian (which aren’t often Christian, I guess) and Jewish students, among others, I changed my mind. It makes sense to wish people a happy holiday whatever it is they celebrate. It is more fun, in a way, to have all these different traditions eating nice food and visiting their relatives at the same time even if their reasons to do it are not the same.

So, you really have no excuse. Atheist? Go pagan and celebrate Winter Solstice.
