#“actually the true meaning of Christmas is [insert non-religious value/vibe/thing]” bad!! no!!

"the true meaning of Christmas is-" you're going to say Christ, right? right?? and not erase the fact that this is a fundamentally religious holiday by claiming the true meaning is not religious at all and is instead some feel-good secular vibes or basic value like "family" or "kindness"???

i dont care if secular people want to celebrate Christmas in their own non-religious way and as a result they subscribe a different personal meaning to the holiday, but do NOT spout bullshit about how the "true meaning" is irreligious and co-op the actual reason for the holiday to make it more palatable to your non-religious palate

#“i personally find Christmas meaningful because [x]” cool! #“actually the true meaning of Christmas is [insert non-religious value/vibe/thing]” bad!! no!! #mostly secular Christmas movies that do this but i hear people do it too
