I guess the trend is fitting for today's culture in the West. As we enter into another Christmas season, Christ is being ghettoized (not actually for He is the King) by the declared seculars. Mark Steyn has pointed to a couple of politically correct offering for Christmas. The irony is that the "12 Days" song was written to specifically combat the suppression of Catholic teaching.
So paganism in the form of secularism has come around for the winter solstice. As the Christians took the pagan-beginning-of-winter festival and Christianized it, now the reverse is happening. I don't mind such humbuggery from the seculars. They just show themselves to be bitter curmudgeons, much like Scrooge.
