Why not choose to celebrate Christmas, since the Obama's are 'Christian', and then if they choose to pay homage to other religions or non-religions, then do so, but seperately. However, If the Obamas were something other than Christian, I could see how they would want to "celebrate the holidays" as a non-christian. Or maybe pay homage to Christmas and spend time his family, count his blessings etc. - which is what I do - But please, call a spade a spade; It is CHRISTMAS!
