The baby Jesus has been sacrificed not only to the deity of commercialism whose idol is The Fat Bastard in the Red Suit.

Last day of class yesterday. The prof wished everyone a great semester break. I wished everybody a Merry Christmas! It was great, the looks on people's faces.

I have noted the change over from Christmas to Holiday so as not to offend Jews, Moslems etc... The worst thing I have seen is changing it from the "Holidays" to The "Gift Giving Season". Christmas has become nothing but a modern day potlatch. Is anyone really happy at Christmas? I don't see it at the malls. Even the kids--are not happy 20 minutes after they rip open the gifts. they never get exactly what the TV tells them they must have.

Maybe there is some hope for Iowa State University. More going on with the campuses than I see from my viewpoint.

Forget about Festivus, the holiday for the Restofus. Forget the Festivus Pole, the Feats of Strength.
It's Christmas! Christmas, CHRISTmas, CHRISTMAS!!! IT's CHRISTMAS!

Foxnews ran a poll last night saying 96% of Americans celebrate Christmas. So what's with the "Holiday" crap?
To: NorCoGOP
I was upstate NY for Thanksgiving and was amazed that 90% of the clerks and cashiers said "Happy Holiday" instead of "Happy Thanksgiving".
I'm still scratching my head over that.

Is anyone really happy at Christmas? Sure. Those who attend a Christmas candlelight service or sing or sit in the audience at the annual Handel performance seem quite jovial.

I don't know what you are all so upset about. One of the major political parties, the secular, Godless Democrat Party has been pushing this secular junk for years! That is, unless, of course you are a Muslim terrorist. Then it is just peachy with the "traitor/treason Democrat Party to make nice with our enemies. America, you better wake up quick, or there will be no Christmas, and there will be no America!
To: NorCoGOP
This is the way the secularist/leftists do things...they take away the word Christams, or God. Little by little, by little. Get you used to the idea of living without these words.
That way, when they go to remove even MORE words you'll be so used to it, ya won't even put up a fuss.

We just finished Ramadan. How in the world did I know that?
Chanukah seems OK. That can be said.
These won't be the first to hate Christ, will they?

Maybe someone should clue our First Lady in on the fact that there are many of us who are offended at her wishing us "Happy Holidays" at the end of the White House Christmas Special each year. She even did it at the end of "Barney Reloaded" on Fox this morning. If Christians can't use the word "Christmas" any more, what is the point of this celebration? Maybe Christians ought to boycott this season next year...not go "holiday" shopping, not have "holiday" parties, or go on "holiday" trips. Let's see who really has the principles to fight this theft of Christmas and offense to Christians, or who just whines about it as it gets worse every year.
To: NorCoGOP
This wouldn't be nearly so galling, if it wasn't for the fact that Christianity, alone among the major religions, has been singled out for this disrespectful treatment. This stuff has been gradually sneaking up on us for years, but for the first time, I'm hearing LOTS of people speaking up about it.
That's great. The only reason the PC Nazis have managed to subvert our lives so completely is that we have allowed it to happen. The more people who bring this issue into the light, the sooner reasonable voices will prevail. So talk about it this Christmas.
Let those dour, humorless gender extremists, multicultural pimps, and radical secularists in the PC Police know that you are offended when they treat the word "Christmas" as if somebody dropped the "F Bomb", and that from here on, you will no longer tolerate this discriminatory and oppressive policy. Then savor the expression on their faces...

Let's see now, what would be the fate of someone in any of the Mideast lunocracies suggested using the Holiday instead of Ramadan?
