Here we go again...
These anti-Christmas people are mentally ill.
They need professional help. As with all insane lunatics.

Yes, Virginia, there is a war on Christmas. It’s the secularization of America’s favorite holiday and the ever-stronger push toward a neutered "holiday" season so that non-Christians won’t be even the slightest bit offended.
Traditionalists get upset when they’re told—more and more these days—that celebrating Christmas in any public way is a violation of church and state separation. That is certainly not what the founders intended when they wrote, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
John Gibson, a popular anchor for the Fox News Channel, has been digging up evidence about the liberal activists, lawyers, politicians, educators, and media people who are leading the war on Christmas. And he reveals that the situation is worse than you can imagine. For instance:
• In Illinois, state government workers were forbidden from saying the words "Merry Christmas" while at work • In Rhode Island, local officials banned Christians from participating in a public project to decorate the lawn of City Hall • A New Jersey school banned even instrumental versions of traditional Christmas carols • Arizona school officials ruled it unconstitutional for a student to make any reference to the religious history of Christmas in a class project
Millions of Americans are starting to fight back against the secularist forces and against local officials who would rather surrender than be seen as politically incorrect. Gibson shows readers how they can help save Christmas from being twisted beyond recognition, with even the slightest reference to Jesus completely disappearing.
I didn't know school officials had judicial power.
BTTT
Yoohoo!
The war you're talking about is the war for the almighty retail dollar.
Let me know when they start locking up folks celebrating Christmas.
My small contribution to the war effort.
"Arizona school officials ruled it unconstitutional for a student to make any reference to the religious history of Christmas in a class project"
You wonder how many years of therapy kids will be in because this is could lower their self esteem.
Ask these "Christmas haters" if they plan to go to work
on Dec. 25. If you hate it that much, just go into your
office and make like it's another workday. (I don't mean
the folks like police, fire, etc. who often are forced
to work the holiday... I mean that guy or gal in your
office who gets all hot and bothered when you wish them
a Merry Christmas. Ask them if they plan to volunteer to
work on Dec. 25--straight time.)
How on earth can you discuss Christmas without referring to religious history? Impossible.
I'll bet the discussion of that fake 40 year old holiday,Kwanzaa,is okay though.
I'm not overly religious but this stuff makes me MAD!!!!!
Change its name to "halloween." Problem solved.
What a bunch of F'n Scrooges!
I will work 5 jobs before my kids go to public school...
If you mention Christmas or Christ-anything, the ACLU has a fit and sues the school.
Here we go again...

I am not a "Christmas hater" but I always volunteered to be "on call" and to perform backups, routine system work, upgrades, maintenance etc. on Christmas day.
Everytime they advertise a "Holiday Sale" we should call the retailers and jam their lines and ask "What holiday?"
Until we all wise up and stop spending money during the Christmas season the retailers could care less what it is called.
And we are all guilty of the overspending.
Let's put Christ back in Christmas for heaven's sake.
Right, and that's good, but I'm just saying a lot of the people who denounce Christmas do plan to take the day off
(most employers are closed anyway, they'll just say)
Is it that time of year again?
Got to love the Scrooges, they come out earlier every year.
