6. Geez, what profound JERKS these people are!
I enjoy holidays.........sometimes (lol) But to "force" us to make them all "christian" is simply over the line. We've been sending greeting cards etc with "happy holidays" on them for decades! Happy Holidays isn't new!

Actually, I've been entertaining the idea that ALL the faiths that have holidays at this time of year BE RECOGNIZED! I was listening to a Jewish American talk show; they played Hannuka music, told stories about their celebrations, gave "recipes" for their particular feasts etc. It was GREAT! Kwanza comes a bit later? I've forgotten. I think there are pagan festivals at this time too, yes?

I say let us celebrate with and enjoy all the diverse people and their holidays....it would be fun. And it might shut up the likes of O'Liely and Profannity.

Let "Merry Christmas" stay on the front of churches and in various greeting cards. Let the rest of the country celebrate (or not) as they chose.

I refuse to allow the far right fascist minds to hijack a secular country to force it into one particular religion.
