No, you offend no one. Nobody expects the state to celebrate Ash Wednesday, so why should people expect the state to celebrate Christmas? Do people notice when a government building in December fails to sport a Christmas tree? doubtful.


I don't disagree with you in theory, but the reason that Christmas is made such a fuss about it is because of the "secular" version of the holiday. Again, Christmas is not all that important as a Christian holiday. Easter is MUCH more important than Christmas, and so is Good Friday, however you rarely see "Happy Easter" signs up anywhere, and that is because Easter is not an important holiday secularly (aside from maybe a few chocolate manufacturers). The reason Christmas has such a fuss, is not because it's an important religious holiday, because it's not...it's because it has been interwoven into an important secular holiday.
