Is this the best way to fight "The War On Christmas"?

If you're a Catholic, there's no reason not to wish people a happy Saint day. Bringing in some traditional goodies from a particular feast (I'm sure you can find this on a site like Catholic Icing) is a great way. I know Jews who are apt to do this for their feasts and turnabout is fairplay and usually tasty and even secular culture sees this as a good and normal thing.

Showing your neighbors and coworkers that there is such a thing as Catholic Culture isn't a bad thing, thousands of traditions have been lost to secularism and most of our feasts are secular feasts today.

Remembering saints isn't even necessarily about their veneration, although that's an important component if you're praying the liturgy of the hours or going to Mass for a particular saint's feast or commemoration.

Also many saints are still remembered on Anglican and Lutheran liturgical calendars, a few saints overlap between Orthodox and Catholic calendars, but their "days" often do not.

Also, there's no reason for Catholics not to enjoy Jewish feast days, Jesus didn't come into the world to abolish feasting!

Christmas will always need to be defended since the devil clearly hates it. Getting back to having a culture that knows how to feast is the only way to get to a culture that can celebrate its principal feasts.
