Firstly, I find it funny that you're complaining about the people complaining. There is a theme through alot of your posts and its complaining. YOu appear to bitch and wine about alot fo things you see in your life yet I rarely hear you doing anything about it.

As for why people are upset over the use of 'holiday' instead of 'Christmas.' Well its pretty simple. Its not holiday on Dec 25 it's Christ's birthday. The day has been pervered into a reason to buy expensive gifts and give them out. Not only has our culture bastardized a major Christian day but it now has opened it up to every culture out there by calling it 'holiday' instead of what it truly is.

Oddly enough you dont see me celebrating Hannukah or other religious holidays. Its probably because I dont practice those faiths. Yet alot of people (practicing different faiths) seem to celebrate 'Christmas' even though most dont know why we have it.

I understand where these people are coming from, though i think their efforts are misguided. The stores aren't the problem, the people are.

Finally, you'll start to realize why this is such a problem when you consider America was founded on Christian beliefs.
