Look, WILBUR, this is the second time you've used the word "Heathen" to 
mean non-Christian.  If you mean non-Christians, then say non-Christians,
or, at least, "those who don't celebrate Christmas."  I am neither a
Christian nor a Heathen, yet I would still feel uncomfortable at an
office "Christmas Party" (unless, maybe I could bring the wood and the nails).
