You know I never knew what a big deal that was for some folks..Being Jewish you do know that Christmas is not my holiday..not what I celebrate though growing up in a Connecticut suburb town, Hamden..outside New Haven, had a small Jewish population but heavy Catholic and the different Protestant denominations. Went to the Christmas concerts at the //high School with my friends..sang my heart out with the Carols..why not..and as a kid, kid remember in grade school, Church St School...when we sang the carols in class and when came to the part  " little lord Jesus ..and the kids all bowed their heads..big Catholic group..me too...why not who wants to be different ...especially 4th and 5th grade..[not sure if protestant kids bowed their heads..]

but later on..depending who addressed..if bunch of Jews ..used "Happy Holidays"..if mixed, usually Merry Christmas...never realized big resentment by some...Have no problem with nativity scenes on Town Greenes, fire houses..

but still , had no clue some really get into this what to call this time of year  such a big deal....especially with the Donald having to make such a big deal about it..like it's a call to war ...

Your negativity is well noted!
As is Gardening Gma   (I only mention her because she liked your post and is well known for her "views")
I have a sister-in-law that is this way.
I can feel for you both, but will never understand your negativity.

California deserves that one!
It is well earned if only for Hollywood and San Francisco.

Dez, both of us grew up in a different society....
Myself, We grew up in a very "mixed world" county in an overwhelmingly white state.
Lake county Indiana, including Gary, East Chicago and Hammond, with all the steel mills and refineries, etc.
Considerable Black community
Jewish faith
Large Mexican immigrant contingent.
Large eastern European immigrant contingent also including Orthodox and Greek Orthodox (we even celebrated the 2nd Christmas with neighbors with their calendar!)
Protestants
Catholics
And even a Muslim immigrant contingent.
Hindu faith...and so on.
We all got along well, but will admit we had our share of bigots, especially in politically allowed segregated housing neighborhoods
Most people had no problem wishing a Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays to people of other faiths, if we knew they were of other faiths.....
Times have changed now, and Christmas is almost verboten by the Feds for fear of upsetting someone, and yes I can see Manger scenes not being allowed on government property, etc, but we should be able to keep Christ in Christmas.
We certainly do not ban Allah in Islam for any reason.
Of course most of us knew nothing of Islam

Hollywood and Silicon Valley groups, earned it for the state. They are trying to rule the nation with their views, damning us into a third world country.

guilt by association is not my thing.  a few hundred or thousand people don't speak for 39 million of us, VB.

we can speak for ourselves.  but for the record, we also feed the nation.  we also pay 10 cents of every federal dollar in taxes.  and nobody is damning anyone to anything.

Actually agree with u...If u can't keep Christ in Christmas we/country  really have a problem...and as I said..personally have never had problems with manger scenes on public land...actually for political correctness see a lot of Menorahs there too with the lights being on as the days move along...hope u all realize, chanukah very minor  holiday against the major one of Christmas...Easter.

For Donald to make a big deal at his rally of this instead of just being a mench..[look it up..yiddish] and just wishing all a "Merry Christmas" and letting it go at that...it's not Donald being Donald..it's Donald not having a clue..or if he does but could care less, then it's the Donald continuing to be a sleeze.

He asks public...and there are so many not happy with his winning this thing..to move on, come together , heal, better America..but for himself..man offers squat..he does nothing of the kind...in fact goes out of his way to devide the country...really don't understand him...and more and more he shows himself to be anything but a President for all Americans..and not even sworn in yet.

Well, that's odd!
You didn't accuse the posters who were pissing and moaning and complaining about Obama for the last 8 years of negativity.
You joined them.

I love the fact that our Founding Fathers gave us the tool to prevent Christians from using our tax dollars to promote their religion. It took way too long for it to be acknowledged and used, but glad it finally has become the working law of the land.
