Coming at him with a personal insult is not the way to go about this.

The correct way is to point out that most Christmas traditions are not rooted in Christianity, but in paganism.

And also, it doesn't matter.

I don't give a shit what kind of holiday it is, it's just an excuse to have a day off, be with your loved ones and eat good food.

I could do that any time of the year but most people seem to like this particular season and it works for me.

I really don't think you could. This is a time of year that the entire country recognizes as "holiday season", so there's a good chance your entire family can take off of work and all be together at that time of year.

I meant it more as in " this holiday season could be any time of the year".

Obviously we can only get off work and meet on something like a holiday, but it doesn't matter to me what the holiday is about, or when it is, as long as i get a day off it's all the same to me.

Edit: Also, that's why i said

"most people seem to like this particular season"

By most people i meant society. We as a society decided this is "holiday season", but it could be any other time of the year and it'd make little difference to me.
