Ok, now I'm ticked off.....on the radio while driving to work I heard a local talk show host say that what was in the past called a Christmas Tree Lighting in the city of Folsom CA is called a Holiday Tree Lighting this year. While it bothered me that any city would bow to this obviously politically correct move I thought well it's just Folsom (famous for pretty much a nasty prison). Then I decided to do a Google search on "holiday tree lighting"....GOOD GOD (yes God)....now I didn't check all 1.5m hits the search returns but you can just page thru city after city across the country who think a tree with lights on it is not JUST ABOUT CHRISTMAS. That's right...you know the Christian feast commemorating the birth of Jesus!!
I can see the leftist politically correct couple taking their kids to the Holiday Tree Lighting at the town square; child: gee dad what's this holiday tree about? dad: well son, ah um, you see its sort of a time to rejoice and be thankful.... child: that's sounds like Thanks Giving dad...the only holiday I have heard of that decorates and puts lights on a tree and has something to do with Dec 25th is CHRISTMAS...dad!!!!!
This is just insane.......do people who are going to the fricken Christmas (because it's not a holiday or festivus tree for that matter) tree lightings think they are celebrating a Muslim event? A Buddhist one? Go get your own holiday you idiots...and I expect your asses at work on 12/25.

Hi Martin, ya I agree...I would love to take time off work and visit Éire...I have a few local friends who are members of Doonbeg Golf Club in County Clare and I keep threatening to make a trip over your way with them!
Hey Haz....curious to get your comments on my contraversial post on AIDS!....comments-a-plenty in the message area
What kind of job do you have that enables you to post on a blog all day?
The history of christmas in america.
Had a bit of time to kill today Tiny so I was sniffing out info on fresh christmas trees for a project I'm working on. Your post Christmas is not PC????? came up when I searched on fresh christmas trees. So thanks for an interesting read, glad I found it even though it's not completely related to what I was looking for! I'll look back from time to time if that's OK. Bye for now
Dear Tiny, isn't the internet amazing? I was out looking for info and sites related to xmas trees and the search put up your post 'Christmas is not PC?????'. Whilst it's not exactly what I was looking for I can see why it came up when I searched on xmas trees and other terms. Just thought I'd let you know I stopped by. Bye for now and thanks for a good read!
