[QUOTE="Uphill Battle, post: 20317713, member: 109132"] a very good point. (pardon me whilie I pause in shock that I agree with Teddy on something......... ok, over it.) there is some small validity in the claim however... Christmas has been a "Christ" holiday for a very very long time. In Canada for sure, there has been a large movement to try and de-Christ Christmas. Mostly from Muslim/Sik quarters, not neccessarily Athiest quarters (as I think the person the OP was refering to is claiming.) It strikes me as ironic that they don't mind taking the time off, but they try and have any reference to Christ removed. (I wonder if we can have a Chistidan instead of Ramadan, and get some time off for it....) for instance, schools call it Xmas... not for abbreviation purposes, mind you. It got so bad that the Toronto city councilors had to go to a vote on renaming the Christmas tree a holiday tree. :sick: No, I don't think it's a major deal. You don't celebrate Christ, I don't expect you to celebrate "Christ"mas. But when you are going so far as to try and tear it apart, and make it something different, it crosses SOME line. [/QUOTE]
