Seattle airport removes Christmas Trees to avoid lawsuit...

I don't take days off. The school is closed in observation of the holiday.

You know, I've often wondered how long that will last. With Christmas getting tossed out of everything, it's only a question of time when all business start staying open.

Ok, everyone, I found out whose fault the entire Christmas tree mess is!
It was Queen Victoria of England. In the 1840s she and her husband, who was from Germany, put a tree up in their Palace for Christmas. The tree was a common practace in his country for holidays. She liked that and put one up in the Palace for Christmas. Everyone started copying it and it became a regular tradition in England and the US since.

So blame it all on Queen Vickie!!!
this was on the history channel this morning - so no arguing with me, ok?

I don't think Christmas will ever stop being celebrated. I can only imagine the uproar if government employees were told they had to work.

I dislike PC stuff as well but on the flip side I see nothing wrong with places deciding to decorate with the words Happy Holidays vs. Merry Christmas if they just want a well rounded greeting that covers all the religions that celebrate this month.

People have been using 'Happy Holidays' and 'Season's Greetings' for years before all this PC stuff hit the fan, but nowaday's if that is displayed, people gripe that the companies and stores are folding under PC pressure.

How so??

Like Twisterdog said, it's not about what is said as much as it's the genuine feeling behind it.
