That really is a great idea... take away &lt;i&gt;their&lt;/i&gt; pie and &quot;let &lt;i&gt;them&lt;/i&gt; eat cake.&quot; :)</description>

		<description>In a lot of ways, I think Christmas has become a somewhat secular celebration in a lot of the world, with a tree, exchange of presents, lights etc. but without being Christ centered. Not that the Birth of Jesus still doesn&#039;t play a big part, especially in Latin America and the Holy land. (Though declining in the U.S. and Europe) But, if you think of other places like Japan, it has superficially been adopted as part of the whole &quot;Western&quot; transition into the &quot;Western&quot; New Year&#039;s Day Calendar celebration, don&#039;t you think?</description>
