Happy Holidays to all!!

It seems that the Christian fanatics are up in arms about the use of the word 'holiday' in store windows and displays. They are boycotting stores that will not replace it with the word 'christmas'. Maybe we should tell them that they are not the only ones that celebrate during this time of year. And they are not the only ones that are buying presents during this season. Many many religious groups are celebrating some form of holiday. So to encompass all of these groups the stores are using the words "Happy Holiday" and "Seasons Greetings" and some other phrasing that captures all of the celebrations. They are covering all their bases. As someone who is not christian I do not see the big deal in those phrases. Who cares if they don't put up Merry Christmas. Get over it, you Christian fanatics! Unless you forgot there are dozens of other religions. You are not the only ones out there! I think that this whole thing is actually a little childish. Maybe that we should remind the Christians that Jesus was not actually born this time of year. Infact he was born around the spring time (about April 6th). Because sheppards, no matter where there are, do not take their flocks out to pasture during the winter. And it gets pretty cold in that area of the globe in the winter time. It does snow. And the reason why the celebration was move to this time of year was so that the early christians would not be persecuted. The "pagan" (I hate that word really. It makes that group sound so uncivilized) holiday was around thousands of years before Christmas was even thought of.
