Ok. I shouldn't have weighed in on this topic at all. As a non-
believer, I should have let the believers duke it out to see how much
bandwith they could consume before they ran out of megabytes.
Perhaps (may we hope?) that will happen soon!

This thread is not only off topic, it's becoming ridiculous.
Nobody is telling anyone not to say Merry Christmas or Happy
Hanukah, or whatever they want to say. The so called "attack on
Christmas" is an invention of right-wing talk radio and TV. It
simply doesn't exist.
I think you might be somewhat sheltered from the "attack on
Christmas "
In my travels at work, I am a computer field service rep I am
wished Season's Greetings or Happy Holidays by receptionists and
other personnel. When I reply "Merry Christmas" I am often told
that they were told that they can't say that anymore since someone
may be offended.. Sorry about that. It is the Christmas "season"
or "holiday" whether they say Christmas or not.
As one of the "right wing talk radio" guys once said, "I am a
POOPhead,. People Offended by Offended People". When they try to
stop me from saying Merry Christmas because I am forcing my beliefs
on them they completely overlook the fact that they are trying to
force their beliefs on me.
And now, back to photography......
Merry Christmas every one
