Personally, I feel that as a society as a whole, we've gone a little too far with the political correctness.
While at a function at the high school last week, my Sweetie and I noticed that the three decorated bulletin boards in the media center (what we used to call the library) declared: "Happy Hanukkah", "Happy Kwanza", and "Happy Holidays." I asked where was the bulletin board that said, "Merry Christmas." Both boys told me that the word "Christmas" isn't allowed in school.
Now I'm a firm believer of separation of Church and State...
BUT I don't want to open that can of worms here. I'd rather share some of the overly politically correct song lyrics that the boys and I came up with for popular Christmas Carols...
OLD VERSION: "...may all of your Christmases be white."
NEW VERSION: "...may all of your holidays be culturally diverse."
OLD VERSION: "Don we now our gay apparel..."
NEW VERSION: "Don we now our alternative-lifestyle apparel..."
OLD VERSION: "Have yourself a merry little Christmas..."
NEW VERSION: "Have yourself an over-commercialized, paid-day-off-from-work, gift-exchange..."
OLD VERSION: "Carol of the Bells"
NEW VERSION: "Carol of the Cell Phones"
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I think your lyrics speak for themselves. LMAO Enough said.
lol! I agree with MERRY CHRISTMAS! Why can we say every other one but not Christmas?
You sound like my husband. He goes out of his way to proclaim Merry Christmas because he's sick of the "Happy Holidays" crap.
Amen, PLRH! Merry Christmas to all!
I don't get why it's ok to say Hanukkah and Kwanza but not Christmas. Political correctnessm is way over-rated. I try to be considerate, but never "politically correct", there's a huge difference!
