why did kamala say how dare we say merry christmas

Kamala's parents were always very focused on the importance of education and their daughter's future success. They felt that celebrating Christmas was a distraction from her studies and could interfere with her ability to achieve her goals. They also believed that spending too much time on non-educational activities could prevent her from becoming a successful and respected professional. So, in their eyes, saying "Merry Christmas" was not a top priority for their daughter's development.
