I agree with your conclusion but not the premise, PC is about censorship to impede honest discussion,
Political correctness is about behavior which goes against what most find acceptable. It's not about silencing discussion. That's why people on the right complaining that it's politically incorrect to be a homophobe/racist etc. It's because the majority are simply not racist/homophobic etc. Again, right wingers in those cases are complaining that they can't be racist/homophobic because it is politically incorrect. They're not complaining about the discussion being silenced but the fact that their behavior is not accepted by the majority.
With that said, it is politically incorrect to not celebrate Christmas. The politically correct stance is to do as Ben Stein says and celebrate Christmas because you're in a country where the majority are white Christian protestants. Are you going to stay consistent and oppose the PC that Ben Stein is espousing? Or are you going to be inconsistent and say that it's fine for people to celebrate or not celebrate or criticize Christmas as they wish and embrace an anti-PC stance?
