What I find funny is diversity. It seems the more diverse we become, the more

What's wonderful is to hear people say, Merry Christmas! , Happy Chaunakah,
Happy Ramadan... Or whatever. That is what is wonderful about the holidays.
Watching the way others represent their own beliefs and ceremonies.
It just seems there are a lot of anti-christian biggots out there, namely the
entire ACLU that wants Christians to go away.
What happened to America being a Melting pot of ideas? It's gone away, as the
ACLU slowly convinces everyone that it's okay to demand you not be offended
and be forced to worship something you don't believe in. They are just a
bunch of liberal pc idiots.
In 50 years, someone is going to start a funny tradition about an old fat man
who delivers presents to needy kids. And others will follow because it's such
a wonderful idea. And as quickly as this country forgets everything
important, no one will see the irony.
My .02 cents...
Oh, and by the way, Happy Birthday Jesus, And Merry Christmas to all!
And to the others, substitue whatever you want that will make you happy.
