This is America, the MAJORITY of us celebrate Christmas. While I understand it is important to recognize everyone, I celebrate christmas, I don't get pissed if a Jewish person wishes me a Happy Haunnakah (I can't spell the damn word, you know what I mean). What really makes my blood boil is when my city decided that the large Christmas tree that goes in the center of town should be renamed the "Holiday Tree". WTF? Holiday tree? What other Christmas-time holiday uses a TREE as a symbol? JFC, we don't call the Menorah "the Holiday Candlestick" do we?
I agree because it seems that our most Christian holiday is being taken away from us. You are not supposed to call it Christmas anymore....It is the Winter Holidays of Winter Solstice. We don't ask Kwanzaa to be renamed or Ramadan to be renamed. Don't mess with our holidays, and we won't mess with yours.
