    well, you could look at it in a logical fashion. xmas be a religious holiday. as we all know, religion is failing, and fading away. when was the last time you went to church? if you do go, WHY?

    so by the year whateverthehell that star trek is set in, isnt it logical to think that religion has been squashed by science, along with christmas, a celebration of some obviously dodgy character's birth?

    BUT i dont bleave in religon (and i think its the most evil invention ever) but i do like xmas and so do most other people

    Xmas is no longer about some make bleave person its just about presents etc which is all good :D
