I think one of the reasons that some people are getting their feathers ruffled is because this is happening in a lot of other areas too.
There was a big thing on the radio the other day about Target and Walmart stores "strongly encouraging" their employees to NOT say "Merry Christmas" but instead to say "Happy Holidays".
Do non-Christans really get offended if someone told them "Merry Christmas" though? If I were non-Christan, I would probably just smile, nod, and be on my way. I wouldn't be so offended to boycott Target or anything.
I've also noticed that more and more schools go on "winter break" instead of "Christmas break" (maybe it's just the area I live in, but when I was younger it was always "Christmas break").
I guess in a way they are trying to seperate the state from religious-type stuff?
