^{Dear SMART,}

^{I really like your ideas about getting Christ and all religion out of Christmas but I wonder if I am alone in not liking the generic substitute names we see everywhere at this time of year: "Happy Holidays", "Season's Greetings", even "Winter Festival" are all displayed in shopping centres, on greeting cards - everywhere!}

^{Why not rename this time of year, "Krismas"? That would allow us atheists to keep the same sounding name we've been familiar with since childhood, but at the same time with the change of spelling, we get rid of all reference to religion!}

^{Great idea Mary! Let us be the first to wish you a very merry Krismas!}
