You say that, but your lack of changing it only shows deep down you love the dirty feeling it gives you.

:cool:

Bender: Ah! Nothing like a warm fire and a Super Soaker of fine cognac.
Fry: Yeah, it really puts you in the Christmas spirit.
Farnsworth: What-mas?
Fry: Christmas. You know? X-M-A-S.
Leela: Oh, you mean Xmas. You must be using an archaic pronunciation. Like when you say "ask" instead of "aks".

Nah, and I can only speak for myself...but I don't think people of other religions in Christian-majority places would be bothered about something like this. If say...it was Merry Christmas in Muslim-majority Pakistan or even India, then they might mind, but since that doesn't really happen anyway, I don't see what the problem is. :O_O:

...and may the person who changed it in the first place roast in ach ee double ell.

haha.. i just saw that futurama episode.. hilarious.

I can only think to say that I don't hear of any other religion besides christian-ish religions having tree's.. so I think the trees should still be called Christmas trees.

And I too always said 'Happy Holidays' to include everyone and New Years.

Yeah.. I started the trend before it was popular. You know me...

Seriously though....I really think there's a group of people meeting in a basement somewhere saying "So what can we get our panties in a twist about this week?"

NOT if I get him first!

Why do you think religious groups are mad, when it was the anti-religious groups that came up with such crap as "holiday trees"?

It's dumb. Stupid political correctness "lets go out of our way to never offend anybody, except white male conservative Christians" crap. I'll say "Merry [leeza]*snip*[/leeza] Christmas", and if you don't like it, kiss my ass.*

*In a figurative sense of the phrase, of course.

[leeza]Figurative or not, don't go around the filter. I believe you have been already been asked this before. ~ Leeza[/leeza]

EDIT: I don't remember ever "going around the filter" before, and I didn't realize typing only the first letter was equal to typing the entire word, but my mistake. I'll replace or fully type out the two words that are filtered out.

YOU can say Christmas all you want; it's the fact that government and places supported by government can't constitutionally endorse one specific religion over any other. Which would make this a very valid claim, except that Christmas is a federal holiday, and can be federally endorsed without endorsing Christianity. Most Americans don't celebrate Christmas in a religious sense, anyway.
