I'm sure you mean it sincerely but please don't do this here. HN isn't the place to proselytize.

    I recognize that this wasn't your decision but I would say having that HN Christmas banner (or any religious holiday banner) is a form of proselytizing. (Not disagreeing with what you said in reply btw.)

    I feel that having a banner like that shows a sense of entitlement that people who celebrate (or have been raised to believe in Christ or another religion) have with this entire time of year.

    (This is irrespective if the same is done for other holidays which apparently it is but HN history doesn't show this (when searching for stories from a particular day)).

      I hear you and want you to know that this is a concern I/we take seriously.

      I've thought about it quite a bit over the years and wanted to give you a proper reply, but unfortunately the time to write it didn't materialize.

      Not that it would be a satisfactory answer but I would like to at least engage with this question. Perhaps another time.
