Happy Holidays!
Now what the f**k is that all about?! We're too sensitive to deal with tha fact that some people still have Christmas? Now If got myself too pissed off to type. It's f**king lame. I can accept people using the H or the K or the whatever word. Damn, people have different religions- what a revelation.
Why not homogenise everything and be done with it. Ah, but how will you be able to sell s*** to people that they dont want or need if you do that?

You're trying to make sense here Chorlton, I'm sure of it.

I agree, Chorlton.
I'm no longer a church-goer, don't know if I can even call myself a Christian, though I was baptised and confirmed in the Church of England. I accept that a teacher called Christ lived on Earth 2000 years ago and tried to show people a way to live in harmony. He deserves to be remembered for that, as does Martin Luther King, and many others who have a special day designated for their remembrance. If we can't have Christmas, then I would say we can't have ANY of the other "Special Days" either. No more holidays, no more remembering John Lennon, D-Day, Armistice, Mother's Day,etc etc .etc.
So there !

Re: Happy Holidays!
In the end I gave up looking for Christmas cards saying Merry Christmas 
so they all went off back home with happy hoildays, which I crossed out and put Merry Christmas on in the end.
