Dec. 25 Should Be Called Christmas, Not The Holiday.

I don't think it was meant that people who aren't Christian should call it Christmas. I think it was simply a statement that many Christians are using the word holiday instead of Christmas anymore. I do agree that other religions or people who are not religious should not have to refer to Christmas as Christmas. They are free to call it what they wish. I simply would hope that people are not offended when I say Merry Christmas, as I have done so my whole life, unless I am aware the person is another religion or does not practice religion at all. I do try to be sensitive to other's feelings. It is so hard to be politically correct all of the time. The words change all of the time and it is exhausting to keep up with all of them. I thought flight attendant instead of stewardess was bad, but custodial engineer instead of janitor....oh my goodness. I am one of the most polite people I know when out in public. On here, I may say what I feel and may not always keep things in, but I get so frustrated trying to walk on eggshells as to never make others angry and, meanwhile, I am annoyed that I have to do the walking on the eggshells. Anyway, I'm not coming down on you...I just started chatting after dropping by to say that I think you missed his point, unless it was I who missed his point. I truly like your responses on here. I've been meaning to drop by your shoutbox and tell you, but here I am telling you already. I'm not coherent at the moment. Should be asleep and cannot fall asleep. Have a good night.
