Would you quit celebrating Christmas if I could prove it was based on a fraudulent story? Many of the holidays we celebrate have no relation to the story they were originally based on. How many people do you know that show respect to St. Valentine on the holiday named for him? How many non-Irish people do you know that celebrate St. Patrick's day? Yes, the genocide of the native american people is tragic and something more should be done to acknowledge and atone for these wrongs but to take a day that people celebrate with their families and give thanks for all they have and replace it with a day of sadness is just plain ridiculous.
