Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. It's not like Christmas is even a religious holiday any more - it's a western cultural thing with specific meaning to Christians. And pagans.

As part of the minority that apparently should be 'offended' by someone saying 'merry Christmas' to me, I'm dreadfully sorry for what idiot politicians are doing.

(Incidentally, Pop, 'xmas' is actually a Christian abbreviation. The 'x' standing for Jesus - it's a cross, see?)

... Every year they keep taking traditions away from christmas and it really bothers me. Im not christain, but I have an appreciation for the christmas spirit and traditions. To see those elements torn apart also tears away at me.
