Merry Tossmas!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, and I think most of you will appreciate it as well! 
Be sure to pass it along to your friends. It's so true.

I now know a holiday saying to trash all those magazines.

It makes me think of this e-mail that I received this week:
To My Democrat Friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.
I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere . Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.
By accepting these greetings, you are accepting the aforementioned terms as stated. This greeting is not subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for herself/himself/others, and is void where prohibited by law and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher.
This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.
To My Republican Friends:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

While I understand most people celebrate Christmas I do want to mention that my brothers girlfriend is Jewish. She of course celebrates hanukkah around the same time as christmas. While I am sure it wouldn't offend her or her family if they had "christmas sales" we must remember that there are other holidays being celebrated around that time as christmas. I do agree that its not that big of a deal. But I ask you this. Would you be offended if they advertised "holiday sales" as "hanukkah sales"?

No, absolutely not!
Jm, the thing is...this has been going on for quite some time. My sister was told, at her place of work, two years ago, that she was NOT to say "Merry Christmas" to anyone or she could be fired. That instead, she was to say, "Happy Holidays!" Is that not ridiculous?
See ,...this is my problem.... Why would they force a Christian who celebrates Christmas, to not be able to say "merry Christmas" to whomever they please? I think it's beyond the point of absurd...and it's going on everywhere. It wasn't just at my sister's workplace.
I think it has less to do with celebrating diversity, and more to do with hating the word "Christ" and what Christmas really stands for. Know what I mean?
I think that there should be magazines that have no problem with saying what holiday they are selling gifts for. What's wrong with being specific?
If they are selling Christmas gifts, let them call it Christmas gifts. If they're selling Hanukkah gifts, let them call it Hanukkah gifts. If they're selling Kwanzaa gifts, let them call it Kwanzaa gifts. I am tired of hearing people avoid saying "Christmas" just because they don't want to "offend" anyone. Like the video says, "they're offending US".
I hope that clears it up...I have no problem with people celebrating other holidays...I just hate when people are afraid to even speak the word "Christmas"...as though it's somehow a bad word.

Being fired for saying Merry Christmas is pretty ridiculous. I do have to agree with you there. I used to work at a grocery store. I would always wish people a Merry Christmas. My boss didn't have a problem with it.
Yes the US was founded on Christianity. But that was 100's of years ago. Now there are so many different religions. While I agree most people in the US are christians. But I think that is slowly changing.

If Hanukkah was the biggest holiday, having over 90 percent of people celebrating it, I would expect catalogs to be selling Hanukkah stuff all the time. Know what I mean? Since Christmas is the biggest holiday celebrated, it seems a little silly for people try to avoid saying the word. lol
But yeah, it happens everywhere. And you're right, it is a shame. Many stores, not just my sisters store (which is a large company but I don't want to disclose the name here), have this policy about "no saying Merry Christmas"
at Christmas time.
I do see it as an attack on Christianity. It doesn't matter if there are lots of religions...we should still have the right to celebrate Christmas, and not have to change the name to "holiday" , just because someone in the minority is offended by the word.
It is not about oppressing or trying to quiet the other holidays...it's about protecting our right to celebrate our own.
That's just how I feel. Everyone should have the right to say "merry Christmas", no matter what. If someone is offended by it, I say, let them be offended. lol

You're right, this has been coming for quite a while. My hubby works for a nationally known financial institution that stopped sending Christmas cards to clients & stopped putting up "Merry Christmas" signs--in lieu of the modern "Happy Holidays" wish-- probably around 7 years ago.

Over the years your bodies become walking autobiographies, telling friends and strangers alike of the minor and major stresses of your lives.

At a dinner party one should eat wisely but not too well, and talk well but not too wisely.

We succeed only as we identify in life, or in war, or in anything else, a single overriding objective, and make all other considerations bend to that one objective.
