I think it is absolutely ridiculous, I think people are thinking too deep, and maybe even dirty, we can only go by what we ourselves thought when we were kids and did we think about these things they seem so concerned about, I think these people have suspicious minds and maybe even just searching for their 15mins of fame and this is the only way they can do it, why don't they leave tradition alone for heavens sake...

I say enough is enough. What next rudolph the red nosed reindeer going to be outlawed to. Santa has been HO HO HOing for countless years without problem. It should stay that way. That is what Santa says and thats all there is to it. What about all the songs with HO HO HO in them, are they going to change that to. People have a choice to celebrate christmas and the majority do. People need to lay off Santa and look at what he stands for, like the goodness in people and giving to others. As you probibly have guessed this whole matter ticks me off big time.

It has gone beyond rediculous! I even hear people having conversations about the damage done to kids when you lie to them about Santa, the Easter Bunny, etc.

Last I checked, in all the generations before us, I have never heard a single person say "I killed my loved one because my parents lied to me about Santa".

I heard about the "Ho Ho Ho" thing too and I think it is about as stupid as you can get.

I have always been sensative to others when I send out holiday cards. Because I have friends and family that celebrate different things in December, and I do not have all the money in the world to buy single cards for everyone, I have always bought "Happy Holidays" cards. However, it stops there for me. I will glad you shout loud and proud...


... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!

:o)

Next we will be told that we cannot say "bless you" to someone when they sneeze!

Religion, yes. But it has nothing to do with politics so it whouldn't be scrutinized that way. And last but not least "you can please some of the people all the time, and all the people some of the time, but you can't please all the people all the time"
LEAVE CHRISTMAS AND SANTA ALONE!

The Ho Ho Ho is not one I had yet heard yet either. Can you tell me what they are now saying?
On the other hand, I really don't find it offensive or difficult for any of us to say "Happy Holidays"! Even if you are a Christian and celebrate Christmas, Happy Holidays could still be taken to incorporate Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day.
America has always been called the "melting pot" for people of all races; and with that in mind, I don't see that it causes harm to be just a bit considerate of everyone's feelings at this time of year. To me that's what the spirit of Christmas is.
I know, a big "Boo Hiss" to me. But I promise I am not trying to be a grinch. I love everything there is about the entire holiday season.~Donna

well I'm a NON Christian and I could care less if someone says Merry Christmas to me..In fact I SAY Merry Christmas to ppl..The Ho Ho Ho thing is just flat out LUDACRIS as far as I'm concerned..I think these whiners and naysayers need to find a new flippin hobby:-/ If ppl like that would put HALF the energy into WORTH WHILE issues could you just imagine what society could accomplish?!

Political correctness has been an issue for awhile. Any writer who has had to type out he or she, him or her, knows that it is just crazy. People are too easily offended and over stupid things. On the same note, the Christian radio station was trying to gather up people to boycott stores that were saying Happy Holidays instead of Marry Christmas. That also seems a bit much. Originally Happy Holidays was used to include a variety of holidays that happened in December, including New Years which is just around the corner.

A good book that makes fun of political correctness is The Story of the Politically Correct Snowperson.

I think it's really a weird action which only american politics can make.
It doesn't make sense at all.I just gonna continue saying merry christmas and ho ho ho.
They can;t forbid people saying that.

It seems to be the rule now (in the US, where I currently am) to say "Happy Holidays". I ho-ho-hoed heartily at the ban on "HO HO HO" ... can Santa's elves till titter "HE HE HE!" or would that be classed as male chauvinism?In the UK we are far less didactic ... it is not offensive to wish someone 'Happy Christmas', even if they are not Christian, and if someone did choose to take offence (provided the greeting was not overtly intended to be offensive), that would be their problem! Santa's gutsy laugh, too, could only be misunderstood as an exhortation to apply oneself to gardening (and that joke comes up regularly in that British institution, the Christmas Cracker!)
