It's hard to handle all of the "Holiday Spirit" exhibited here.......
Even a grinch or two?
I understand the attempt to cover all of the bases....but it's just another notch in the handle of the Secularist movement's six shooter being used in the Shoot-out at the JC Corral...
Have a very Merry Christmas and the Happiest of New Years

food4thought,
Unfortunately, there are Christians or alleged Christians who want to believe they're persecuted. Perhaps it makes them feel more holy, I don't know. I don't understand the attitude. Sure, it's tacky to say "Merry Xmas" instead of "Merry Christmas", and being Christian, I take very mild offense at that, but I'm not going around with a chip on my shoulder about it. ...and I never think anything about "Happy Holidays"; after all, what would these kinds of folks prefer to hear? "Happy Thanksgiving, Joyous Christmas Eve, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year's Eve, Happy New Year: try saying that 10 times fast.
Some people just don't have enough to do.
God's blessings to you, and Happy Holidays.

Food4thought,
I think I spotted The Great Pumpkin heading east a few days ago, and I am glad I am warm and snug at home. It's a good day to break out the hot chocolate... speaking of which...and yes, I get frustrated trying to find real human contact here in Seattle. Of course, I have my own quirks and foibles.

Al & Blanche...
Thanks for remiding me, I gotta get them Festivus cards out. And Seattle does have the reputation of being the San Francisco of the North, according to certain people. Weather over there sounds messy, good time to stay home, did I miss, "the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" again? Rats!

Alpenwasser,
Hear, hear. Here in Seattle, the entire city makes a point of being offended on a daily basis. My neighbor included.

I'm with you. I saw John Gibson, too, and I just shook my head at his ludicrous assertions. I'm part of the 85% of Christians in this country (not a very good one, though) and I personally don't give a hoot whether it's "Happy Holidays", "Seasons Greetings", "Merry Christmas", or "Happy Festivus." Entirely too many people get their knickers in a knot over being offended. To the easily offended, I offer a heartfelt sentiment in the spirit of the season: Oh, shut up!

They take pure pristine American cow pastures and turn them into schlock. Blech.

Food4thought,
I think they're missing the bigger picture: Whatisname should stay out Walmart cause it's a blight on the American landscape: they show gross contempt for their workers and the consumer. For their worker, they try to chisel them out of what measly medical benefits they're entitled to by "screening" disabled workers out, force them to work "off the clock" , close down Canadian stores rather than unionize, and give up their lunches. Their half hour UNPAID lunch. For the consumer, they bumfoozle people into thinking they're getting the best deal in town with loss leaders on certain items and sticker shock on others, run out the competition until they can jack up their prices to whatever they want. They even cheat their supplier by telling them what rockbottom price they will pay, and NOT pass the saving on to the consumer, merely make The Waltons (and we're not talking John Boy and Ma and Pa), the richest family in the world.
Happy Holidays, my sweet Aunt Petunia. Sam Walton can bite me.

since they don't observe any holiday?
