Why Xmas?? Xmas offends good people... Christmas offends #$%#X...my opinion for what it's worth

Watch out for Christmas carols too, some of them aren't very politically correct...

[bob johnson]

Like I am??? Political correctness is a 1 way street..some people have freedom of speech and say everything and anything they please with no chastisement..the other side doesn't enjoy those priveledges..I'm on the wrong side of the street...PC is way overrated..IMHHO..

Not sure if you noticed my sarcasm with the PC comment. You're not on the wrong side of the street, you're on the side that still has some common sense.
When you can't even call it a "Christmas tree" anymore without offending someone--you're supposed to call it a "holiday tree,"--something is very wrong!

Since this thread started with a joke, I have one for ya: (Sorry it's so long, I'm sure it was written by a lawyer)

THE POLITICALLY CORRECT HOLIDAY GREETING (Enjoy!)

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit our
best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially
responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral,
celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within
the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of
your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect
for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others,
or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at
all . . .
. . . and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and
medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the
generally accepted calendar year 2000, but not without due
respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose
contributions to society have helped make America great,
(not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other
country or is the only 'AMERICA' in the western hemisphere), and
without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical
ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform, or sexual
preference of the wishee.
(By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms.
This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is
freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It
implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the
wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where
prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This
wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual
application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance
of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and
warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance
of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.)

-----------------------------------
Merry Christmas and God bless you, one and all! (Hope no one gets PO'd by that)

that's funny...but it's getting that bad...yes I noticed the sarcasm..ONLY IN AMERICA ...giving some people freedom to do what they want, takes another groups freedoms away from them..

Politically Correct... that sounds a bit like an Oxymoron to me.

Born and raised in the South, just like Bob. Its amazing how many folks that are't from here have moved here and try to tell us dumb Southerners "How it is" back home. I have great news!! We are not where "you are from" You happen to live "Where we are from".

Merry Christmas!!

My wife is a substitute teacher here in Ca. It is sad that they can't do christmas stuff with the kids. They had a "Holiday" play at school the other day and all the songs the kids sang where about the earth.
