We will be attending our daughter's "Winter Celebration" at school soon. Last year I had to ask what it was. She told me it was the Christmas party but they don't call it that anymore. Get the Beep out of here. That crap gets on my nerves. Same with the pledge and everything else now days that might "offend" someone. Christ, don't even get me started. P.S. CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS and more CHRISTMAS. IN GOD WE TRUST.

"Festivus....a festivus for the rest-iv-us!!"

my dad's in a band called festivus. They play that episode before every gig, and they even have the aluminum pole on stage with them and everything!!!
as for the other topic, i found this quite interesting... http://www.comcast.net/news/politics...29/273442.html
and you know what??? there's no punishment for so many other horrible things kids say in school, but GOD forbid anyone mention anything about any religion in school (which is sooo much BETTER than all that other crap!!!)
and the whole "holiday tree" thing is stupid too!!! a tree is a christmas symbol... if you don't want it to be a symbol that relates to christmas, you cannot just change the name, you need to get a different symbol... i'm going to stop now, because this is just pissing me off... people get so offended about EVERYTHING!!! So many people spend so much time waiting for someone to say something slightly offensive, they miss so many other more important things in life!!!!!!! GRRRRRRR

I personally feel that people that find this an issue in their lives have a few shortages of other problems and things to worry about.

i agree 100%
dam straight. i cant wait to teach my son that it is christmas, not "holidays"
also, if somebody has beef with "in god we trust", then tell them to hand over their wallet, becuase the money in it has "in god we trust" all over it, thus they do not believe in it.
and on top of this, my nationality is AMERICAN
somebody is offended that its called a christmas break, not holiday break. what about us?
now im offended that its not called christmas, but something else.
