Merry Christmas? Don't insult me. : Comments

By Theo Zographos, published 27/12/2012

In the last few days, I have received dozens of letters supporting my motion that Merry Christmas be included on decorations. I have received not one against.

"I think it is time to end this ridiculous and absurd level of political correctness and finally stand up for what is right, that Christmas is Christmas."

Except when it's being Advent, or Christmastide or the Epiphany Season.

So it seems to me, Theo, that 'Seasons Greetings' is most appropriate as one salutation covers all the bases... including up to Compline ending the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It even copes with being inclusive of Chanukah.

Of course, that is only important to those who believe practising such observances is politically correct.

A Council “Enjoinder” against Christmas…Should I be surprised! I am with Dickens...

…"I know enough of the world now to have almost lost the capacity of being much surprised by anything".

I agree entirely. I thought that was what was what was being celebrated..........and I'm an atheist. PC has become an agency for absurdity.

I was just wondering how many of the six councilors who voted against the motion were Muslims (or Jews, Buddhists etc) and how many ex-Christians.

Christmas is primarily about the birth of the Christ? Yes, for most people, about as much as Thursday implies the worship of Thor.
Please, if we do retain the S Greetings formula, let's have it complete, with apostrophe: Season's Greetings.
Merry Christmas

I am also an atheist, who wants his, & his kids Christmas back.

It is not however the desire for Christmas back, it is a desire for some sanity that is important.

Political correctness was simply a political ploy to catch a few votes. It is surely a sign of insanity that so many of our elite could pick it up, & make it their new religion.

Churchill talked about so much owed by so many to so few, but has their ever been a time when so few crackpots have controlled the actions, & even the thoughts of so many.

It really is time to sweep the halls of crackpots, as we take down the "CHRISTMAS" boughs of holly we have decked them with.
