First they insist everybody acknowledge/recognize Christmas and Christmas only. Otherwise you're slapping the Baby Jesus in the face and taking a big steaming dump in his manger. Then they insist you must be Christian to celebrate the holiday because if you celebrate it without being Christian you're offending them. Basically you must celebrate their holiday and their holiday only, and in order to do that you must join their club.
