I remember an immigrant from India once told me that he understood that the vast majority of the country is Christian/celebrates Christmas. Even some non believers celebrate it. He said it would be idiotic for someone to go to India and demand that they change their customs to appease them so why should they do it in America. Unless you are being forced to participate then shut up. I’ve seen Muslims celebrate their holidays and Jews celebrate theirs. I’m not a jerk and try to interfere but Heaven forbid someone say Merry Christmas
He's right and that's actually what this author wants. I feel like OP didn't get past the headline.
She's asking people to stop being inclusive. If you want to celebrate Christmas, fine, celebrate Christmas. Don't try to pull Jews into Christmas by calling it the "holiday season". It's fucking Christmas, so celebrate Christmas. The inclusivity is just a veneer and is actually more offensive than excluding them from a holiday they don't celebrate anyway.
It's actually a pretty fucking based take, if for the wrong reason.

Thanks. I didn’t look at it that way.
