Christmas is ...

... well about birth of Christ, just because Christmas is intrinsic part of western culture which has transcended sectarians boundaries doesn't take away it from its religious underpinning. I find it objectionable same way as I would find, if someone were trying to secularize Holi or Deepawali. If secularists want to party without being burdened with as little as nod to religious mooring of culture, they can always go to discotheque.

Mark Steyn is right, as is Bryan for pointing out that "War On Christmas"is not a good way to counter the man from Hope.

PS: Sacrilege ! Look what did they do to Theodore Roosevelt.

Stay with software management. Finance will not suit you, no matter how good you are at it. With such an attitude towards Hanukkah, you are not getting anywhere in the wall street.

Arggh, The JOOOOOOOS ;-)

But seriously why can't it be both Christmas and Hanukkah. Both are festivals with a rich history. Why erase the history and past just because liberals are squeamish !

Precisely the point. I think there are a bunch of such nonsensical intellectuals across the spectrum. There are way too many morons trying either to oppose something, lest it offend somebody else or justify something simply because they have to. Call a spade a spade and live with it.
