I've heard lots of stories in the news about companies intentionally changing "Merry Christmas" to "Happy Holidays" in order not to offend. However, in practice I didn't observe this as there seemed to be plenty of mentions of Christmas. Of course, I live in Bible Belt, NC - not Sodom by the Sea, Northern California.
Dave,
You ought to move to California, where you can enjoy the Christmas holidays without freezing. Sure there are some Walmart stores that ruin it all by using the word "Holidays" instead of "Christmas" in their propaganda, but we can't help it because Walmart is controlled in Arkansas, the origin of Clinton and place of his cigar-shaped library out there in the Bible Belt.
Happy new year!
Dan has a point, Dave... The weather has been so cold across the "Bible Belt" lately that some of the red states are turning blue!
(Okay! I admit it: I borrowed that one from Jay Leno
)
Happy New Year, All!

When I lived in California, going Christmas caroling in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt seemed to lack something. On the other hand "dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh" is highly overrated, in my opinion. Brrrrrr!

P.S.: Tonight my wife and I are going to meet our son at the ski slope and watch fireworks at midnight. Can't do that in Fullerton - Oh right. Everyone is at the seminar.
