How annoying

"Christian tradition seems more and more out of step with our wonderfully multicultural, multi-ethnic, multi-faceted society."  Honest to God, that's how Kathe Lemon, editor of Calgary's 'Avenue Magazine', described this major Christian feast in her editorial piece this month.  Christmas.  Out-of-step with society.  How annoying, she said. 

What a crock.

This is how far out-of-whack things have become.  Now, Christmas isn't Christmas because others don't celebrate it.  I am soooooo sick of it.  In today's 'Herald', the front page had a lovely picture of Hanukkah.  They didn't call it the lighting of "Holliday candles".  They didn't call it the celebration of "Seasonal candles".  They called it the lighting of the Hanukkah candles.  Good on them, but why has Christmas been banished and defamed?!  It's the same with Eid.  These dates are fixed and revered, but not Christmas.  No siree.   

It's a politically-correct outrage.  And whenever I see "Xmas", it offends me.  Does that mean we have "X-ed" Christmas?  I guess it does.

"It is that element of feeling forced to take part in a celebration, even if it is neither meaningful nor fun for you, that makes Christmas distasteful to many."  That is how this idiotic editor ended her BS editorial.  If Christmas is so "distasteful", why does everyone celebrate and love it?  Last time I checked, December 25th was actually Christmas Day.  Let's stop allowing people to stomp all over it.

Stand up for Christ and Christmas!

p.s.  I didn't correct her grammatical mistakes (above); she needs to be outed.
