We all know how far overboard the schools have gone. No Christmas vacation but Winter vacation, no Christmas carols but "Holiday" songs, etc., etc.
But have you realized how hard it is to even buy cards that say Christmas? Or that displays of Christmas trees or Christmas ornaments are not called Christmas (whatever) but Holiday (whatever).
What freakin' holiday other than Christmas they are for, I have no idea, but you know we can't offend anyone.
I was in Target yesterday, admittedly on a mission to find Christmas "stuff". I looked at four shelves of "Holiday" cards. Out of probably 150 different cards, THREE had the word "Christmas".
No artificial trees had the word "Christmas" and out of hundreds of ornaments TWO had "Christmas" either on the ornament or on the label.
Oh, and no bell ringer out front.
Face it folks, the season of love and happiness, giving and forgiving, it fast on its way to turning into just another day.
At least the ADL and ACLU could then rest easy.
Can making Festivus the official national celebration be far behind?
