For those of you who believe that there is not an attack on Christmas, allow me to present my own exhibit. We took little Chickpea over to the mall today to get some photos with Santa. The photos could be had with or without a printed border on the image. The border said "Happy Holidays." There was no option to have one that said "Merry Christmas."
Look, I understand political correctness and not wanting to offend people, but doesn't it seem a bit ridiculous that I can't go to get a picture, with Santa, and have it say something tied to Christmas? I have self selected into a group of people who wants a photo with the perennial icon of Christmas, and yet, I cannot get a Merry Christmas.
I find the whole thing sad. I did appreciate that the "Santa" told me "I listen to O'Reilley too, but I can't say Merry Christmas either." So Christmas is out. You're not allowed to even utter the words. This isn't even San Francisco. I hope reason and sanity win out over this political correctness.
I'm done. Sorry for ranting. I feel sad for my daughter. That's all.

Why would you want a picture of Chick Pea that says "Merry Christmas" when you said on July 22, 2005:
"when in fact that son doesn't believe in God or Heaven"?
