It had that name for decades until some bureaucrat decided that the name should be "December Nights". Do we turn our backs on our nation's heritage for the sake of political correctness? I say no.<BR/><BR/>Feel free to have a parade or decorations to commemorate what holiday you may celebrate, but don't push Christmas aside. There are millions of people in this country who celebrate Christmas that are not Christians.Carl Starretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06409648966714976610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10772130.post-1134443885956907682005-12-12T19:18:00.000-08:002005-12-12T19:18:00.000-08:00You're leaving out New Year's Day, which, coupled with Christmas, creates the plural of "happy holidays".<BR/><BR/>Not to mention that there are other holidays that occur in December. Unimportant to you, perhaps, but not so to the people who observe them.Ethanhttp://www.thevisionthing.comnoreply@blogger.com
