EDIT: I'm no longer sure how to parse your comment. It sure reads like a defense of what you call "American culture" but given your other comments I will read it charitably as an impartial observation. ---- If "American culture" means women should stay in the kitchen [1] and I should pretend to be Christian [2], then good. I hope "American culture" dies. [1] "women in the workforce are splitting families apart" [2] "Our workers don't have common holidays anymore"

women have a substantially diminished ability to even have the option of full-time child rearing. some women absolutely wish they could. and holidays are rituals that contribute to the shared context that give us frameworks of meaning and social solidarity. christmas is practically secular already as it is. just because things are from the past doesnt mean theyre automatically invoked in the least charitable way you can interpret them.
