Holiday or Holy?
There’s evidence to support that Canadians are happy to have the fun of Christmas without the faith. A 2014 Angus Reid poll found that 80 percent of respondents preferred to call this time of year “Christmas” rather than the “Holiday Season,” although only 37 percent said they would be attending a Christmas service. Somewhat fittingly, only 29 percent said it was “very special” to “celebrate the birth of Christ with loved ones.”
