Carol responds:

And yet 94 percent of Americans, fifteen percent of whom don't attend
church or consider themselves as belonging to any Christian
denomination, celebrate Christmas. Can't speak for other countries,
but evidently the trend is only occurring in the U.S.

Carol, who thinks that Christmas is about love, peace, and joy and
wishes she could share that feeling with everyone
