A Politically Correct Christmas...

-or- Hell on Earth

from JoeUser Forums
There is absolutely no way in the mortal world that Christmas can exist in harmony with other religious holidays, the only way it has gotten this far is because it gives everyone raises and vacation time. I'm sick of people trying to tie in Hanukkah and Kwanza with Christmas...this togetherness stuff is only going to piss people off more. Trust me, every Christmas someone gets pissed about the open display of Santa, Jesus, and stuff like that. I'm not sure why, it's not like we're hypnotizing them or anything...well, not intentionally. If the holidays could just stay by themselves instead of breeding and turning out a bastard child called Christmahanukwanza or some shit like that, then I believe we'd all be much happier. It's nothing towards other religions, its just that it's bullshit to have a "politically correct" holiday season....see we have to use 'holiday' instead of Christmas. No one seems to mind, because being the 'good' Christians we are, we think everyone else will burn in hell for they're horrible transgressions. Damnit, guys it's December, that means Christmas on the 25th and Hanukkah this year appears to end a week before Christmas and they never put Kwanza on any of the calendars I have....so, let's show a bit of spirit and not care what the others think. Just because we're Christians, we're supposed to support everyone else's beliefs and supress our own because we're assholes? Well, the point I'm getting at is that Christmas is a day for celebrating Jesus's birth (Even though no one has a freaking clue) and a bit of Santa's fat ass for the kids...and people that aren't Christians won't like it but they will sure as hell take their Christmas vacation time and bonuses huh?

(Note: I'm a Christian yes, but hardly a hardcore one...I'm just generalizing the stereotype, I myself am not at all like that....but since it's a stereotype and I'm a Christian I can use it....so, hope that will deflect any arguments that may come my way)
So, see ya'll later,

Best Buy's ad signs in their display windows at the Mall of America say "Happy Chirstmahannakwanzukkah" or some such combination. I found it amusing...

Merry Christmas. I hope your's is a peacefull and happy one. Try and live, at least during this time of year, by Christ's example.

"Be compassionate, as your Father is compassionate. Do no judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Pardon, and you shall be pardoned. Give, and it shall be given to you. Good measure pressed down, shaken together, running over, will they pour into the fold of your garment. For the measure you measure with will be measured back to you."
-- Luke: 6, 36 - 39 (The New American Bible)

Have a wonderful holy day.

Actually, if you really want to get politically correct, they aren't Christmas bonuses, they're holiday bonuses.

Capt. over and out!

Bleh, I hate that more than anything! (well, not anything but it bothers me a lot...) like the whole saying Happy Holidays because of other religions, you know.
Yeah, we get it already! Not everybody is Christian! but this is a country of freedom of speach! If You aren't Christian, please don't sensor other religions! We don't sensor you, so quit your bitching!
Stores should say Merry Christmas, Happy Hannakauh*, or Happy Kwanza.

Actually, stores should and frankly are free to market to whomever they wish.

If the stores thought they would increase sales by saying Happy Kwanza, they'd do it. If calendar companies thought they would sell more calendars by showing Kwanza on the calendar, they would do so. If Best Buy thought they would sell more DVD's if they promoted Hannakauh, trust me, they'd light the freaking minora!!

I used to work with a kid who reviled Christmas and Christianity....you know the kind; black clothes, hair and nails, "Cannibal Corpse" and Marylin Manson t-shirts.
No matter...his name was right up there on the list for the restaurant's Christmas party gift exchange. I cornered him about it; I asked him why, if he didn't beleieve in Christmas, did he want to participate? His answer:
"Well, everybody likes getting presents." He cheerfully agreed that he was a hypocrite.

And Kwanzaa isn't even a "real" holiday...it was invented by a black separatist ex-con in California in order to give blacks a holiday of their own.

Thanks for the link, while I had no idea, I should have known.
