I suppose since the real Christmas is not in December, who cares ?
Even if they were able to abolish it, which will not happened, how can you abolish something in your heart.
It is where communist failed, they can tell you to stop worshiping, but they can't really read your mind or heart.

After these things I saw another angel descending from heaven, with great authority; and the earth was lighted up from his glory. 2And he cried out with a strong voice, saying: "She has fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen, and she has become a dwelling place of demons and a lurking place of every unclean exhalation and a lurking place of every unclean and hated bird! 3For because of the wine of the anger of her fornication all the nations have fallen [victim], and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the traveling merchants of the earth became rich due to the power of her shameless luxury."
4
And I heard another voice out of heaven say: "Get out of her, my people, if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins, and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues. 5For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind. 6Render to her even as she herself rendered, and do to her twice as much, yes, twice the number of the things she did; in the cup in which she put a mixture put twice as much of the mixture for her. 7To the extent that she glorified herself and lived in shameless luxury, to that extent give her torment and mourning. For in her heart she keeps saying, "˜I sit a queen, and I am no widow, and I shall never see mourning."™ 8That is why in one day her plagues will come, death and mourning and famine, and she will be completely burned with fire, because Jehovah God, who judged her, is strong.
9
"And the kings of the earth who committed fornication with her and lived in shameless luxury will weep and beat themselves in grief over her, when they look at the smoke from the burning of her, 10while they stand at a distance because of their fear of her torment and say, "˜Too bad, too bad, you great city, Babylon you strong city, because in one hour your judgment has arrived!"™
11
"Also, the traveling merchants of the earth are weeping and mourning over her, because there is no one to buy their full stock anymore, 12a full stock of gold and silver and precious stone and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet; and everything in scented wood and every sort of ivory object and every sort of object out of most precious wood and of copper and of iron and of marble; 13also cinnamon and Indian spice and incense and perfumed oil and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and horses and coaches and slaves and human souls. 14Yes, the fine fruit that your soul desired has departed from you, and all the dainty things and the gorgeous things have perished from you, and never again will people find them.
15
"The traveling merchants of these things, who became rich from her, will stand at a distance because of [their] fear of her torment and will weep and mourn, 16saying, "˜Too bad, too bad"”the great city, clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet, and richly adorned with gold ornament and precious stone and pearl, 17because in one hour such great riches have been devastated!"™
"And every ship captain and every man that voyages anywhere, and sailors and all those who make a living by the sea, stood at a distance 18and cried out as they looked at the smoke from the burning of her and said, "˜What city is like the great city?"™ 19And they threw dust upon their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning, and said, "˜Too bad, too bad"”the great city, in which all those having boats at sea became rich by reason of her costliness, because in one hour she has been devastated!"™
it is going to happen, not just religion but all the vestiges of religion which will include religious based holidays, no more Xmas no more Easter etc. only thing allowed will be the worship of the state,i know itshard to swallow but that's what the antichrist is up to.
you might better rejoice ,its prophecy tiring to come true
