They think it works that way because that's the way it works for them.
Show them a picture of Mecca and they freak right the fuck out.
meanwhile they cry a tantrum when Starbucks uses red cups.

The War on Christmas is absolutely real and it is the height of ignorance to pretend otherwise. To be crystal clear Christmas is the 12 day season between 12/25 and 1/6. Anyone complaining about people not saying "Merry Christmas" outside of 12/25-1/6 is talking about the wrong season.
Advent starts with the first of four Sundays before Christmas day. This is typically after American thanksgiving has taken place and is the actual season that is going on when people complain about "The War on Christmas". The proper greeting for this season will refer to Advent and not Christmas because 12/1-12/23 is not Christmas.
To sum up there is a War on Christmas and the aggressors are the ones bitching about people not saying Merry Christmas during Advent.
There is a difference on how the holiday season go based on religion, but also based on country. Like f.e. in The Netherlands the gifts are more traditionally exchanged on the 5th of December because we have Sinterklaas then, which is basically based on the same Saint Nicholas.
