For real?

"in Newport News, Va., an estimated 8,000 people showed up for the town's Christmas celebration, except they are calling it that. They're calling it Hollydazzle. And instead of lighting the 40-foot Christmas tree, Newport News officials are going to be lighting, get this, the tree of illumination."

So what's stopping people from calling it a Christmas celebration and a Christmas tree if they so choose?

Sad how many people still can not distinguish a marketing ploy from reality....

Insane hype.

You know we are controlled by a wingnut media when Jerry Falwell can announce a campaign and it is treated seriously. . .I mean, after all - wasn't this the man who said Tinky Winky was a shill for the gay agenda?

These people thrive on war and conflict. Everything out of their mouths is always about war.

brought on by Faux News. Saying Happy Holidays does not exclude those celebrating Christmas or Hanukkah. Both which occur on 12/25.

what's wrong with people???

in a long time..that and intelligent design. Not worth wasting bandwidth over.

Happy Holidays Merry Christmas

With all the other stuff that came out in the trash today, this Faux driven blather is of no real importance.

People have been saying "happy holidays" since I was a child. It's nothing new. It's always been right there with "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Hanukah."

Why are people convinced this is now a new thing as part of some insidious war on Christmas? Are they that brainwashed? Do they not understand common courtesy or even the fucking concept of the holidays being Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, New Years, etc.?

Obviously, it's a no-brainer - you say "Happy holidays" because you can't be sure that the stranger (or customer) in front of you celebrates Christmas, whereas everyone enjoys the "holiday season".

I guess it's a no-brainer unless you have no brain.

Ever since I didn't get that Barbie doll in '56, I've put the kibosh on Xmas. Plus, Xmas was when we had the family blood bath events.

She didn't come on the market until 1959.

Hey, there's only so much Santa can do.

NOTE TO THOSE IN A TIZZY OVER THIS: GET A LIFE! Leave your megachurches and feed the hungry, shelter the homeless and help those less fortunate than yourselves. Did Jesus hang around whining about Christmas and Holidays? Sheesh! Celebrate Festivus or something. This whatever-you-want-to-call-it season cannot be over soon enough.

It has either been made a "cause" by the freeps, or NBC is diddling with the numbers.
