Concerts, commericials, Christmas events, Christmas songs, etc. are supposed to be called Holiday/Season things. Like Season Greetings, or Holiday concerts, instead of Christmas concert.
Wynter's Rant:
I understand there are other holidays around the Christmas holiday, such as Eid, Diwali (sp?), and Hanukkah, and where I live (in Ontario), we "celebrate" them all. I mean, we wish people greetings on all these holidays. It's all about equality. Which is grand. What I DON'T think is grand is that, in order to play up the other celebrations, they are downsizing the Christian Holiday. I mean, I was listening on the radio the other day about how some stations are not
allowed to wish the audience a Merry Christmas (they have to say "Happy Holiday" instead) but that they can wish people a happy Diwali or a Happy Hanukkah. This makes no sense. I mean, granted, Christmas has been so warped by commercialism the actual purpose of Christmas has been lost. However, Christians still know what Christmas is about, and I think, in order to be TRULY equal, we shouldn't ignore what Chrismtas is.
End Wynter's Rant.
I apologize for dumping. I'm just peeved today. :sweat: :bow:
