“Food Items needed for the Christmas Party we are not going to call a Christmas Party any more because it might offend a bunch of parents who didn’t get spanked enough when they were children.”
Just FYI, when the Christmas cards were invented long time ago during the Victorian times and it became a fashion to send them out, (not just give them to family), the most common greeting on them was:
1: Season’s Greetings
2: Happy Holidays
3: Greetings of the Season
So there you go, even then the word “Christmas” was not the most common word on those cards.
The words: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year were spoken as greetings of the season among family and friends.

Hate that we can no call anything, well almost anything, by its name for fear of offending someone or a lawsuit.

Should have called it an all-winter holiday extravaganza. All holidays are allowed to be celebrated and it won’t be so bland.

Tree-shaped cookies? No… clearly for a pre-Christian Norse pagan ceremony. Not secular.
Circular cookies? No… symbol of the Egyptian god Ra and/or the Aten. Not secular.
Random blobs of dough? No… clearly a Discordian symbol of Eris, goddess of chaos. Not secular.
No cookie at all? No… symbol of the Void, hence Zen Buddhist, hence not secular.
This situation is a problem.
