holidays that are pretty much universal because many belief systems 
lump them at the same time and we may call them by the christian name 
that calander and card publishers force on us.  

Geoff:
With respect, in the UK, we call our holidays "Christmas" 
and "Easter" because that is what they celebrated.

It is only in the last few years that they have become linked with 
some of the ethnic minorities who have come to the UK largely since 
WWII.

OK, so many folk over here merely have a knees-up and pay scant 
respect to the old Christian traditional dates but isn't it funny 
that when they go to hospital or somewhere similar and they are asked 
about their religion, they say "C of E" without batting an eyelid?
