    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.

      Exactly. What is Christian about chopping down an evergreen and put it in your house? That’s a pre-christian fertility symbol to invoke the turn of the solar year and the next agricultural season.

      Also, the man is an idiot.

      Nah, simple facts don’t work on people like Sorbo. Insults don’t really work either, but at least that’s funnier.

      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.
