Faith, by definition, cannot be wrong. It is a leap across the boundary of the knowable and soluble to the land of the insoluble and the positronic POstulated Knowing that lies beyond the world of evidence.

Christmas, now, is a different question; the December 25th date, as you probably know, was not the best-guess birthdate of Jesus himself, but it was the alleged birthdate of Mithras, for example, and several other pre-CE incarnations of DIvine Presence.

So happy Mithrasmass to you.

WHile faith cannot be wrong, jamming one's faith into the lives of others certainly can be. For my part, I have received plenty of Christmas cards and wishes of happy Christmas from friends and family, many of whom are strangers to Faith, but who are people of reason, understanding and perspective. These, IMHO, are more worth defending than one or another set of icons, myths or faith-based metaphysics.
