OK, I lied...I heard more of it on the radio today Apparently it started with this: http://www.syracuse.com/have-you-heard/index.ssf/2011/11/rhode_island_governor_defends.html The governor wants everyone to call the Christmas tree in the state house a "holiday tree" instead. I can't find an article on the banning of Merry Christmas, but it is banned in the state house only. The governor wants it to be "Happy Holidays" only.
Come pick me up bud,I WILL YELL IT ALSO!!!!!!! Fuck that,ILL CALL IT WHAT IT IS: A christmas tree!! FUCK ALL THIS P.C. CRAP!!!!!!!
and the Pagan folks were using the trees before the Christians tried to wipe 'em out in God's name. I kinda try to respect the persons belief when I wish them some kind of greeting unless they get nuts on me and start frothing at the mouth about baby Jeebus. Since I'm more Earth based in spititual beliefs I want some respect for my faith too. Reasonable Christians will get a Merry Christmas...if they're nut jobs they'll get a soltice reference. What a fuckin Bitch...can't even greet people without some dipshit gettin their feelings hurt. Might as well just walk around yellin' Hey, Fuck You instead
Really, I couldn't care less, but I always say MERRY CHRISTMAS because it's politically incorrect this day in age. In reality, Christmas is a pagan, solar holiday and has really nothing to do with the biblical Christ. Christmas can kiss my ass for all I care.
