Merry Christmas!!
Although. I saw this thing on CNN about un-Christianing Christmas. Apparently, there's a movement to remove all Christian connotations about Christmas. Eg. calling the tree a "Holiday Tree". According to these people, Christmas has become such a widely recognised holiday that even non-Christians celebrate it. Hence, for these non-Christians, it's discriminatory and even offensive to be bombarded by all the Christian propaganda during the holiday. Afterall, the whole Santa thing isn't Christian, and that's the part that most people (even Christians) associate with Christmas.
Well... I'm not sure what to think about this. Seems pretty radical to me. If I were Christian I'd be really bemused. I guess these strange people can go around calling the tree and the holiday whatever they want. but don't tell Christians that they should no longer call it "Christmas".
