Please tell me you realize that "holiday" is a contraction for "holy day".
I for one am fed completely up with people who are looking to be insulted or hurt by traditions we have had in this country for hundreds of years. The rabbi was and is a jerk. He spent the day on TV demonstrating the fact.
Yeah, a contraction is a shortened form of a word.
You see "Holy day" has seven letters and the contraction "holiday" has seven letters...
Ahhh... nevermind.
Please tell me you realize that "holiday" is a contraction for "holy day".
Yeah I realize the meaning of holiday. The word has been reduced to meaning a paid day off from work. Christmas still means the day of Christs' birth though. When this story first broke the trees were referred to as holiday trees, not Christmas trees. When they were replaced they were called Christmas trees. This story is more about beurocrats trying to avoid religion than anything else
