What pisses me off is Hallmark and Sees candy promoting every stinkin holiday that comes down the pike no matter how minor a holiday it is so you have to buy cards and candy to give to people.

BTW, happy Saint Paddy's day, everybody.

Back when these holidays were a little deeper than giving a card/gift/party, everyday life was signficantly harder.

I think someone who was around to celebrate Christmas or Easter 75 years ago probably realizes that the food, entertainment, get togethers, etc. that made those holidays "special" are just a routine part of our everyday life now.

Santa Clause does not bother me one bit Holden and I agree with you on the second statement. The question I have is why are they changing the names and titles of traditional holidays and their symbols. Is it because they really want to or do they feel pressured. The government is not coming down on them so why are they doing this - because of some little communist organization like the ACLU. Because their afraid of some whining atheist’s law suit? Taking the whole religious aspect out of the picture – what boils me is that traditional American holidays (Which my family and I cherish) are slowly being chiseled away at by these far left wing special interest groups. How far is this going to go? First they get rid of Xmas decorations at government buildings. Then businesses (Maybe no more Christmas parties because employees MIGHT find them offensive)? Then lastly your home – your not allowed to display any decorations on your property because your neighbors MIGHT find them offensive. If it gets to the last point I hope there is another civil war in this country and please – sign me up for General!
