Interesting thought. Regardless of religion, whenever people say, "the holidays," they're always understood to mean the winter holidays. There are holidays all year round, no?

@Fragglemuppet two major religions have winter holidays, and then you have New Year's, so it's kind of the religious/secular intersection that earns it "The Holidays." Plus the Solstice, so you get the pagans etc too!

@Fragglemuppet and if you add Thanksgiving, there's nothing else that comes close to that density
