Bill O'Reilly is an idiot - a cabdriver with a microphone. That doesn't change the fact that the "Holiday Party" used to be called a Christmas Party.

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
I see a distinct difference between being considerate of other faiths and the active effort to remove all vestiges of the Christian faith from the season. In other words, I won't get offended as a Christian if someone says "Happy Holidays" as long as I can say "Merry Christmas" with impunity.
