Opinion of incorporating the cross into Christmas celebrations?

Very good.  Christmas is first and foremost about Christ, and it should be kept that way.

Please keep your religion out of our secular winter time holiday, thank you.

Is this thread not about Christmas?
You probably should not be taking part in this very festal occasion which was founded and celebrated for the remembrance of the coming of Christ.
You could go back home to Qom for Winter; the lack of crosses there may appeal to you better.

We can celebrate winter festivities in a secular manner, but not misinterpret Christmas .

Indeed it is.  A holiday for families and friends to come together and exchange gifts, as overseen by a jolly old fat guy.  You can keep all the boring stuff you were talking about, whatever it was, thank you.

This isn't about whether it's boring or not; Christmas is in all its intents a Christian liturgical feast. I celebrate the advent of snow, presents and mulled wine during European winter in a secular fashion, but to suggest that Christianity is not at the very heart of Christmas is absurd.
