Indeed.

Honestly, they accuse liberals of being snowflakes, yet every RWNJ seizes upon the most petty things to be outraged about. No one is forcing them to observe Kwanzaa, or Hanukkah, Festivus, pagan Solstice celebrations, whatever. The mere existence of such holidays is all that it takes to enrage them.

I will paraphrase this from a comment I left on Anymouse’s page on why pagans celebrate Christmas:

I have no problem with Christians choosing the Winter Solstice to celebrate the birth of their Savior. And I have absolutely no problem with their message of Peace on Earth and Good Will to Everyone.

But I get annoyed at their notion that they have some sort of exclusive claim to the season or its (often pagan) traditions and rituals
