Mikayla this week came down the hallway of our house and merrily said, "Happy holidays!" I was shocked! Where did my innocent 3 year old learn to be so politically correct? Krista and I made an extra effort to say "Merry Christmas" from then on.
First we X-ed Christ out of Christmas with "X-mas", now we are on to more subtle ways of taking the true meaning out of Christmas. "Happy Holidays" is the phrase that is heard 10 times during each commercial break and it is the phrase that is posted all over the stores. Although, I was happy to see Fry's Electronics IS having a "Day after Christmas" sale event on the 26th.
Well, I wanted to continue this train of thought and blog a really controversial post, but I'm getting a little depressed thinking about it. Christmas Eve is not the time to bog your mind down with what's wrong with the world. It's a time to reflect on the birth of our Savior, the greatest gift ever given.
Look forward to a philosophical blog entry about what's wrong with being politically correct...just not on Christmas Eve ;o)
Merry Christmas!!

Bill, you best check your facts about Xmas (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmas) before setting out on a rant. Xmas is simply a Greek derived abbreviation of Christmas.
Boy, some people go a LOOOOONG way to ride that hobby horse. Wikipedia is completely nuts. I could go on there and publish an article defining "a goose" as a galactic conquering, fire-breathing alien of vastly superior intelligence, waiting for the opportune time to kill us all.
I love the internet.
