[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 489330, member: 84"] I've had a few people I've run across doing this too and it irks me. There are many more holidays being celebrated at this time of the year than Christmas. I'm fine with them saying whatever they want to say as long as they don't get bent out of shape because I'm wishing them a Merry Christmas. That too irks me no end. Ok, if you don't celebrate xmas then just tell me what you're celebrating and I'll wish you that instead, no need to put a damper on my holiday just because it's not your holiday. Know what I mean?? One thing I do miss terribly is the xmas programs kids used to put on at the schools. They were so cute. But all this political correctness ruined it and now most schools have opted out and heck many won't even do a party for xmas either. I don't see why, say if they don't want to offend.........they don't use it as a learning opportunity. Say instead of just xmas songs include a few from others that are also celebrating, as well as do something for them in the party instead of just eliminating it altogether. Darrin's xmas program was cute because they are of a cute age. But it had no xmas feel and the kids looked a bit out of place dressed for xmas yet not singing songs of the season except one that was so blah on the wording you could almost recognize it as a xmas song. ugh [/QUOTE]
