.....the "C" in YMCA stood for "Christian". Apparently, even some of the younger staff at the local Y in Crowfoot don't know that. This arose because they are putting up decorations and a tree in the lobby and I congratulated them.
"And you better not call it a "holiday" tree," I admonished as I walked past towards the locker room. "Well, some people might object," said one. I went postal! That's when I told her what the "C" stood for. "Just remind anyone who dares challenge the tree of this basic fact," I added. "Thanks," she replied, grateful for a little help in beating back the infidels.
I mean, if you're going to call it a "holiday" tree, you better change the name of the Y. Seriously. I am sick of it. December 25th is not "season's" day, it's not "holiday" day. It's Christmas Day, so please let us have one measly day to celebrate the birth of Christ.

I will never abbreviate Christmas with an X!
