That still leaves the chance someone would complaind bout being forced to read "Christmas" when trying to write code


Sounds like sarcasm and snark, but even so "decorations", "easter eggs" and/or "holiday" is sufficient to convey what would be enabled/disabled.


But "Easter eggs" are even more religious so that phrase would need to be banned if we are banning everything some random person on the internet finds offensive. Even "holiday" is borderline because it implies a holy day which is also religious. If you give me a few minutes, I can think of a few reasons to ban "decorations" on religious grounds too. I'm an atheist so don't give a fuck if they are banned but I think that should indicate the absurdity of this situation and of even acknowledging the "issue." That's what the close issue is for.
