Those breaks were originally Christmas and Easter break. The good euphenism was implemented as to not offended the non Christians. Spade!

I don't deny that. I'd be happy for Rosh H'Shana and Yom Kippur and EID to be euphamised too if they offend you so much. Can YOU think of a euphamism? I sure can't. Similarly, I don't give a damn about what the breaks are called, and aren't particularly offended by the terms "Christmas" or "Easter" break. But at least they practically can be euphamised.

"But at least they practically can be euphamised."

Why must they be euphamised at all?

What benefit is it to our society to selectively perfect PC lies?

The "mennorrah" is the symbol of the Jewish observance of Hannakah.(sp)
The "nativity scene" is the Christian symbol of the observance of Christmas.
Why is your candleholder more secularly "acceptable" than the Christian nativity scene?
Why should the majority of the citizens of the USA be required to "hide" their symbols of faith, so as to not offend a small minority?
I am not a Christian.
I find little offense directed at me, as a believer in a supreme Deity, by the Christian faith.
No true Christian I have ever met thirsted for my death, due to my unbelief in their theological belief system.Many have prayed for me, and as I believe in the power of prayer, I always thank them for doing so.
I guess I could be termed a "Heathen for Christ".
Christians must turn the other cheek, seven times seven, but I am not so constrained.
I like Christians.
They are a good people.
I do not mind defending their rights in ways they may not always approve of, in our supposedly new and improved studiously and insane "secular" agnostic society.
I am not an agnostic.
I am not an atheist.
I do not want the USA to become an anti or non -Christian nation.
I do not turn the other cheek, and I will not back down.
Reality bites, for cultists,imans and shamans, in the USA.
Get over it.
