Christmas: Conservatives gone beserk . . .

Who would ever think that "Seasons Greetings" would cause such a ruckus! This greeting has been around forever as a nice way of wishing someone the best of the holiday season. After starting around December, there are a lot of holidays

  • Christmas
  • New Years
  • Chanukah (happens to start right on Christmas -- 25-Dec-2005 -- this year)
  • Kwanzaa

If you want to cover more than just Christmas (yes, I'm a Christian), then I find "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons Greetings" the correct thing to say. Not politically correct just correct. I also find that Christian conservatives arguing with governments and stores over Christmas is offensive. Who cares what they want to call their tree or their sale or their . . . the birth of Christ is the important thing and what commercial establishments choose to do has nothing the least to do with that. I sometimes think that these conservative groups are just siezing on something to pull people's minds away from the REAL issues like the war in Iraq and political influence here in the U.S.
