Hehe, I'm not actually Christian but I'm glad Xmas is around. Otherwise, I'd get no holidays at the end of the year at all.

"Just to be a dick head", and if you are going to say "arse", it is "Happy Christmas".:p

Looks like someone bit the fishhook that anyone gives a rats ass about what's said 'round this time. Nope, it's just the rabid christians, everyone else doesn't care. It's a made-up controversy.

Well, I can personally testify to a case of someone flipping out at the mention of "Merry Christmas" but it would only seem to be from the rabid wings of most groups.

Take it up with Alan (http://poisonedminds.com/). He's the Brit, not me. ;)

Heh, I liked this article (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/19/AR2005121901802.html) on the subject from the Post.

Giving people "the creeps" at Christmas is a serious thing, so we decided some actual reporting might be in order. :)

As have I. A "Merry Christmas" on an email that went to a fundraising donor's list got a scathing page long rant about what a "Bigoted, intolerant religious extremeist" I was and to never solicit her for funds again.

'Course, she was from LA, so I probably should have known better... :rolleyes: but her addy was part of a Group... :headbang:

You forgot the traditionalists, who may or may not be Christians. :p

I can pretty much sum up my opinions in one sentence:

People should be more considerate, be less sensitive, and try not to be dicks. In other words, people should be perfect...

Thank you...
