I said that in context of the 'anti religious bent' of the holidays that has been an issue in public areas that label it christmas instead of something less exclusive. It's more airy sarcasm than anything serious, in that I'd rather go snowboarding and be HAPPY than listen to the disenfranchised raise issue with the naming of a holiday, especially since the religious context is indicative of celebrating the time of year in a 'community'. Christmas is all about the subtext. Talking about the more malignant issues of consumerist intent isn't downplaying the loving nature of the holiday.

But thanks for the temporal clarification for using each term. Makes sense as saying happy halloween during the candy buy buildup would seem silly.
