Do you think it would be an attack on black history month if you decided to celebrate it by substituting your race for blacks? Maybe you love and respect black history month, but you want to have a friendly white supremacy month and just celebrate it a little differently than blacks do? It's still black history month, but you just want to celebrate it your way right? It's not like it would be an attack on black history month, right?
The blatant lefty war on Christmas is self evident, there is no debate that it rages on, which is why this thread is not about debating if the war exists or not.

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans. It is not celebrated as anything else. However, Christmas is different. It is both a sacred religious holiday and a worldwide cultural and commercial celebration.
For two millennia, people around the world have been observing it with traditions and practices that are both religious and secular in nature. The middle of winter has long been a time of celebration around the world. Centuries before the arrival of the man called
Jesus, early Europeans celebrated light and birth in the darkest days of winter. In Scandinavia, the Norse celebrated
Yule from December 21, the winter solstice, through January. In Germany, people honored the pagan god Oden during the mid-winter holiday. In Rome, it was a holiday in honor of Saturn, the god of agriculture. It wasn't till 4th century, that Christmas was celebrated by Christians as the birthday of Christ. Some Muslims and Jews today celebrate Christmas as a cultural event, not a religious one. In the business world, Christmas is significant because
Christmas is typically a peak selling season for retailers in many nations around the world. Christmas is a time for giving which translates to a time for buying.
With Christmas meaning different thing to different people around the world, it would seen that some Christians are the ones denying Christmas by insisting that those with different beliefs accept their definition of Christmas.
