Because there's no reason NOT to have them. We don't have a
"smily limit", we can have as many as we want! Why get rid of them if there's no limit? Besides, I love Christmas and it's nice to have some specially for that occasion. It's like people complaining about a feature added to a game saying "it shouldn't have been added". You don't HAVE to use that feature, it's just an addition! Why get rid of it just because a lot of people don't like it? Maybe some people do, and it's EXTRA! Why NOT have it?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
