A new Gallup poll asks Americans about Christmas
VERBATIM: 88% of us will celebrate the holiday on Thursday — down from 96% who did so 20 years ago. But while secular forms of celebration remain popular, religious ones are in decline. Fewer Americans will be going anywhere near a church and fewer put out Nativity scenes or other religious displays at their homes. Even self-identified Christians are changing their ways.
