holiday versus christmas

how is it that we live in a time that the christian movement can shame us into excluding all other religions?

advertisers can't say holiday anymore, they have to say christmas, or they're attacked by the christian coalition.

people in everyday conversation say "merry christmas" now, which really is bothersome when you're not religious.

as a society, we used to be more accepting in our holiday festivities, but that isn't acceptable anymore.

since when did acceptance of people, regardless of religion, race, gender, sexual orientation... since when did acceptance of ALL people become unacceptable?

apparently this year.

fun holiday sites...

i saw this awhile ago and thought it was funny. it seems to be going around again, so forgive me if you've seen it. my favorite is the guy on the horse.

it asks you to trust an applet download, but don't worry, it's safe.
