My wife pointed out an article in the paper to me yesterday. Walmart, the worlds largest retailer polled it's customers after the employees received complaints from the customers about the absence of the term "Merry Christmas" and found that there was an overwhelming amount of people (90%) that consider themselves christian, this year they have not only gone back to Merry Christmas, but over 1300 of their Super Walmarts will have live Santas.
I've said it before: If your not Jewish and that's the reason you don't celebrate Hanukkah, Then why if you're Not christian are you celebrating Christmas... Go buy yourself a steel pole and celebrate Festivus and leave us and our holiday alone!
Oh and by the way... Santa Claus as an Evolution of the original Saint Nicholas (notice the SAINT, again christian). Started as St. Nicholas, then a dutch translation to Sint Nikolaas, and Sinter Klass as a nickname and translated and transformed in American to Santa Claus. (a lil history channel for you all :) )... Now do you honestly think that a Saint would refer to anyone as a HOE? It's just a jolly laugh! People that complain about these silly little things bother me.
I know I'm on a rant, but this is just one of those little things I'm passionate about.
End rant.
