Everyone here loves Christmas because they take it as a nice and peaceful time to buy gifts and receive gifts, and the nice decorations and so forth. So saying that here in Canada has no bad meaning.
Same with easter, chocolate and eggs and rabbits. Both are pagan holidays either way, no wonder people love them

But if we do say Jesus or God, people will laugh. !
and say, "You still believe in that?"
And if we say Happy Passover to someone, they say "What is that?" even the "Christians."

In my country in Lebanon, almost everyone is religious so we all use the name of God and Jesus, well Christians, and muslims use the name of God only, which for them has been changed to Allah, and in Lebanese (Arabic) we say Allah for God.
But this doesn't mean that people know who Christ is, they all have an idea, much better than here in north america, but still...
