Merry Christmas!

As far as I know, there’s no Ramadan Tree, no Hanukkah Tree, no Utsava Tree, no Bodhisattva Tree. When you put a tree in the living room and string light bulbs around it and put presents under it, it’s uniquely a “Christmas Tree.” And December 25th is uniquely “Christmas.” I’m not afraid to say “Merry Christmas.” From what I gather this phrase does not offend non-Christians. If my Jewish friend says to me “Happy Hanukkah,” I’m cool with that. If anyone is offended by the word Christmas, he or she is an idiot, therefore I don’t care.

This year I will not shop at any store whose management is too stupid to understand it’s OK to say the word Christmas during Christmas.

That’s just me.

We might as well just revert to Winter Solstice and Yule. They stole it from the pagans anyway.

Oh - and the giant Christmas Tree they put up every year at City Hall right smack dab in the middle of the city is now called a "Holiday Tree".
