All this commercialism is ruining Christmas for me, and it continues to get worse every year. Now it's not "Merry Christmas" or even "Merry Xmas," but "Season's Greetings" and "Happy Holidays." Season's Greetings could mean any season--I could say it in summer! Some people now are even going down to just "Greetings." It's like Jackson Browne says "They've turned the nature that I worship in from a temple to a robber's den." No one on TV is allowed to say anything about religion anymore, and if they do, they are cut off or laughed at. Everyone's so bloody busy worried about not offending anyone that we're losing our heritage. Did you know that Christians are the most persecuted religion group nowadays? So in closing, like the rock band Queen says "Thank God for Christmas!"--Mbo (from my Italo-German heritage that still believes in the real meaning of Christmas, to all you other 'Catters, Merry Christmas and HAPPY HANNUKAH!)
