While I have no problem with the noble preoccupation with not offending the delicate sensibilities of all those who are not Christian, it seems to me that the last few years have been more about the deliberate exclusion and expulsion of anything of a Christian nature from the "Happy Holidays". That is in and of itself intolerant.

The only thing I have little tolerance for is the tired "Christians are stupid and intolerant" canard.
How is saying "Happy Holidays" excluding Christians or Christianity? Or are you actually buying into the Bill O'Reilly/John Gibson ratings grab that somehow states there is a war on Christmas or Christianity? So holding a Holiday Party is somehow insulting to Christians because it doesn't single them out for more special treatment?

I'm sorry I just don't get the whole problem with people being aware or considerate of other faiths ~ but then again I come from one of those "evil" secular societies
