This post nails it. Christmas is under attack by Christians themselves (and others that celebrate the holiday) not by those who don't celebrate Christmas.Christmas is still everywhere, and it always will be. Because it's not really a Christian holiday - it's a capitalism one.
The real attack on Christmas is the attack undergone by commoditizing Christians turning it into a crass profit generator in their attempts to stay on top of the socioreligious ladder.
If Christians really wanted Christmas to be their holiday again, they'd stop giving presents to their own friends and family and instead give them to the needy. Or stop giving gifts all together as that has the most tenuous link to the Christ birth story.
Plus most religious scholars think Christ was born around June, but the early church moved the holiday to takeover the already existing holidays during the winter, which makes the "attack on Christmas" rhetoric hilarious hypocrisy.
