This book addresses the need for the holiday to realize that it is not for everyone. Author Flynn discusses how Christmas has been tolerated by Jews and atheists, but other non-Christians won't be as accommodating as their numbers grow. He believes that social traditions need to be redefined to meet the growing number of people totally outside the Christmas celebration.
