Perfect!
Even the word "Christmas" has evolved, like many other English words into something else. Something more inclusive. It is a word that describes a time of year that most humans (some call it something other than Christmas) celebrate family and friends and life. And its is a big THANK-YOU to the Big Guy in the Sky, or the Universe, or whatever or whomever started this whole crazy world. It is a time to look beyond your own circumstances and help others, and to smile at others.
Look if Christians can co-opt the decorated tree, the yule log, Santa Claus, mistletoe, Frosty the snowman, Non-religious seasonal songs like "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas" "jingle bells" etc.. then they have no right to declare that the non-religious are at war with Christmas. I have a fundie based family and I know how they cherry pick and include all those traditional elements without thinking.....Why?....because its more FUN that way. If they were truly circling the wagons and were true blue Christians they would reject anything that took the focus off of the celebration of Jesus's birth. But no, they want in on the fun part that the secular world has invented (Like Coca Cola did with the modern Santa), while at the same time saying they are under attack for their pure "faith".
