Oh, my. Isn't the word "holiday" itself taken from "Holy Day"? If that is correct, what ever will they do??

At least Target Stores are willing to acknowledge Christmas; they are offering a set of plates called the "Cheeses of Nazareth." I am not making this up.

"Oh, Holiday Tree,
Oh, Holiday Tree,
How lovely are your branches..."

You're right. It just doesn't work.

Give them a demonstration of why the custom of having an angel on the top of the tree came to be.

Now, there's an important breaking news story if I ever heard one. I have just one question, though: do you bend over only on April 5?

I wonder if that [characterization deleted] Tina Fey (SNL, "Weekend Update") will ridicule this PC BS. After all, she did ridicule "Freedom Fries" and "Freedom Toast"...
