It's the name of the day, people. You're not celebrating "holiday-day". It's Christmas. Everyone calls it Christmas. The only ones who don't are the advertisers and PC officials who're afraid of offending anyone. We may as well ban every label and name black as it may offend someone, somehow.

Ugghh, We put up with this PC crap EVERY SINGLE CHRISTMAS.

Clinton banned CHRISTMAS and Halloween for the military back in 95/96. We had to go to special briefings where we were told we couldn't say Christmas. Halloween was called autumn harvest and Christmas was called winter festival or some stupid ass name like this.

It lasted for one or two years and the PC Commanders moved on or retired and the new ones went back to Christmas and Halloween.

This is the same crap happening in Denver and won't last long !

This is actually very important, this "fear of offending".

Key point: No one is offended. It's a lie, told to intimidate a kindly and tolerant nation.

Think about it: If you go to Turkey, are you "offended" when the muezzin calls the people to prayer from a minaret, because you are not a Moslem? When in Israel, are you offended when you see people observing the sabbath? In Tibet, does the existence of prayer wheels in public offend you? In India, when stores are closed for the festival of Ganesh. do you lose self-esteem?

The whole idea that non-Christians are (or, if they are, they are right to be) offended by public celebrations of Christmas is an absurdity.

We must eradicate PC like what was done to Communism and Nazism. PC is the plague that needs to be destroyed at all costs. We should have death squads to liquidate the PC CommuNazis from the face of humanity.
