dont get me wrong but i was so used to saying one thing and then corrected so abrutly that we dont such things here , i guess there are more toes to step on here .
and the meaning red ken in london
well i think it was last year or the year before ken who is (i think still is ) the mayor of london annouced that it will be seasons greetings not merry christmas .
yes there were a lot of unhappy people ,
so basically i am saying but not agreeing is that the PC word is seasons greeting so i ahave lead to belive ..
no offence to anyone where ever we live we have to watch what we say.
even if there is a very very small chance of hurting someones feelings,
i just said the truth and if the truth hurts then well what ever ,

Re: your first xmas in vancouver this is for u
Let's get real for a moment.
I think the more accurate reason for the preference by many of 'season's greetings' is many people's underlying unease with this whole time of year. Suicide rates are high, booze is flowing, families are fighting, many women are over-burdened in pleasing behaviours from another dimension and time. Children are rabid on sugar. Uncles are wanting their fingers pulled. Oh, how fun it all is! Do we really need the social pressure to be happy and merry, to have a joyous occassion? If people want to get drunk, be angry, be irritated, be miserable in a haze of alcohol, turkey farts and too much mincemeat they should have that right and not have the assumption that it's a merry, happy time for all thrown into their faces at every turn.
Heres to a Crap Christmas and a Miserable New Year!
