I do think it has to do with privilege, and part of that is because I am fairly certain most Muslims, Jews and atheists who don't celebrate Christmas in the US could tell you when it is.
I've lost count of the number of comments I've seen saying that they've never heard of Sukkot, so whatever. It's a pretty important Jewish holiday. Way to negate it!
