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"
OK, that's really lame. BUT: as much as some people might like it
to be so, there is no state sponsored or sanctioned religion in the
US. For those of us who are not Christian, this time of year can be a
royal PITA. Xmas (and that is a legitimate abbreviation) is
Everywhere and takes over Everything. Bowdlerizing carols is not the
way to make us feel more included. I would love to put the Christ
back in Christmas and put it back in church where it belongs.

Pax in terra,
