Christmas will always be Christmas to me - no matter what some
butt-kissing
politicians say. This political correctness thing has gone too far ...
celebrate what you want, but leave MY Christmas alone. My opinion only.
Merry Christmas to all.

Sharon (N.B.)

I agree whole heartily with what Sharon said! "Celebrate what you want, but
leave MY Christmas alone"! I've heard the same opinion expressed by leaders
of the Jewish and Muslim communities. They don't want the Christmas
celebration to be renamed the Holiday season any more than they want the
names of their religious celebrations changed.

The annual Christmas tree that is sent to Boston from Nova Scotia (in
appreciation for the help Boston gave to the Province following the Halifax
explosion in 1917) this year was renamed the Holiday tree by the mayor of
Boston. This caused such a furor, lead by the grower of the tree, it
reverted back to Christmas tree. I watched the televised lighting of the
tree and it was definitely a *Christmas* tree! ......and the songs was
definitely *Christmas* songs!

Just out of curiosity -- I really wondered what everyone thinks about
all the "Happy Holiday" songs and etc? I saw some schoolchildren on tv
the other night singing what SHOULD have been "We wish you a Merry
Christmas" ... but now it's all "We wish you Happy Holidays". And then
Saturday Night Live did a spoof on the whole thing too. Frankly, I'm
apalled. Have people forgotten Christmas is the celebration of the
birth of Christ? Or is it all now just a reason to give presents? Oh
and my step-daughter came to visit from college this weekend, and
she's upset that history books no longer can print A.D. or B.C. -- now
it all has to be CE or BCE (common era and before common era). Sorry,
I'll shut up now. Except to say MERRY CHRISTMAS!
