good thinking.

No one get offended by Merry Christmas, you're not allowed to say it because Wal-Mart wants everyones money, its not politically correct, its business savvy.

And Christians are picking this fight to draw attention to something the political right can rally behind and get the other **** thats going poorly off the front page.

And, "happy holidays" ... What a loada bollocks. Its christmas, sheesh.

Haha my friends and I say "lol" and "rofl" sometimes to totally make fun of the internet lingo.

Thats funny, I've always thought it weird to actually say 'lol' anywhere other then on the internet.

And It's Christmas!

CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS!

For **** sake some people need to get off their high horse and leave things alone. Christians created the holiday. I'm not a christian and I still prefer it to be Christmas, doesn't mean I celebrate the birth of christ but I still celebrate none the less.

If it became Happy Holidays, where would the jolly fat man go? And if we kept him, wouldn't that mean we have to bring him out at every holiday? Since everything is known as a holiday? Stupid stupid pc junkies. Go back to your seed stained dictionary pages.

Let me sort of sidestep this question for a second and ask, if a store has up a "happy holidays" sign, does anyone really care?

I didn't go to the store because they worshipped christ, I went there to get q-tips.

And honestly, if you're a real christian, Christmas shouldn't be in department stores, thats a complete bastardization of the holiday, it directly pushes it to commercialism and goes against everything Christ stood for, am I alone in recalling the lines "its easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to get into heaven."?

That and the fact at no point did jesus say "celebrate me being born"...

That and we are pretty sure, dessert or not, his birthday wasn't on December 25th.
