Personally I don’t see any religious related thread here,
these holidays are in periode of christmas and the end of the year (2020 here after jesus crist) according to greogorian calendar. That’s the reality.
Regards.

Each to their own, Laurance. I respect your view, but the religious inference in the earlier comment was quite clear - that you should call the season by a name acceptable to Christians, and that the use of other terms is 'paganism', used here in its negative sense to denote the supposed inferiority of people who don't follow that particular creed.
Your statement that we have celebrated this time of year as a Christian festival for over 2000 years is inaccurate. The celebration of Christmas as a religious event is a relatively modern Western invention and, although it is a holiday season throughout much of the world, today it is only celebrated for religious purposes by a small minority of the world's population. Before it became partially appropriated by Christians, the traditional significance of this time of year (in all European culture, at least) was that it marked the time when the days would once again start to draw out, meaning a reduction in the cold, more daylight and the renewed abundance of food. It marked the beginning of the end of the hardest time of the year for everybody.
The Gregorian Calendar has never been an indicator of the longevity of Christmas, by the way. It was only invented about 500 years ago, and wasn't even adopted by European countries until 200 or so years after that. Some European countries didn't even adopt it until the 1920s, and Saudi Arabia only adopted it in 2016. It is also only one of a number of calendars in use throughout the world, none of which are any more intrinsically significant than any of the others.
I shouldn't need to type all this. I will leave this post here for now, in order to make my point about making religious comments on this forum, but will then ask the moderators to delete the post.

That is you’re point of view, and nothing hurting there, but all the countries I know, from Europe-America-Australia-Asia are based on Gregorian calendar
When we talk about chines new year, « at least for me « it’s the happy days for them, and I do have chines friends and I was invited many times to celebrate with them. So happy times. That’s it.

We use the Gregorian calendar, but we celebrate Christmas by to the Julian calendar. Nevertheless, I also join in the congratulations and wish our western brothers a Merry Christmas! And I also wish happy New Year's celebrations for everyone!
