'Merry Christmas' or 'Happy Holiday'

[mrnoodle]

Pretending there is not an organized effort to eliminate all mention of Christ from any public arena doesn't make it so. There are any number of court dockets that show just that. The ACLU researches individual school districts to see if it can find any mention of Christmas, then warns the school board that they're going to get sued if they don't take out the offending references.

Kwanzaa my ass. We've allowed a small group of people to create the false impression that the Christian holiday is just one of many that are actively being celebrated, and that by paying attention to xmas, we are somehow offending practitioners of other faiths. If I move to India, I don't expect Indians to remove all signs of their predominant religion to keep my white Christian ass happy. Likewise, I don't intend to change my country to keep theirs so.

Grr.

I said I wasn't gonna get involved in this argument...

Elspode, you guys can have all that stuff back if you want. It's a pain in the butt to put up and take down every year. But pagans are older than Christianity, the ones who brought the traditions over were pagans who saw the light, so to speak. So you're gonna have to make a call to internal affairs -- don't blame it all on Dobson.
