Do you actually have any argument which hasn't been inspired from reading Dan Brown novels??
Are you stating that Christianity never embraced anything? Because if you are who is the amateur here?

Comments welcome  BBC News - Queen speaks of hope in 2011 Christmas Day message |

Here a lot do it, I guess because here it's winter and a lot of ex pats like to think of Christmas being in winter, helps to remind them of home I guess. Of course their Christmas in July has nothing to do with the birth of Christ....it's really just a money making gimmick. I've never bothered with it....but then I don't go to restaurants. !!

So, what are the chances that we can keep this thread going that long? I know! Let us find as many words as we can that are associated with Christmas in the alphabet, let us see if we can get at least 3 from each letter. I'll start;
A = Angel |
