Man, I tell ya, it seems the Grand Media has just about succeeded in making the utterance of the C word as rare as that of the F word on TV and in the papers.
They go to great lengths to avoid it. The NY Post or The Village Voice last week referred to shopping for "people who are expecting gifts in late December". What contortionists!.
The Baltimore Sun in an editorial last week referred to Ramadan first, then Hannukah, with good ole Christmas bringing up the rear as an afterthought.
I've noticed that a lot recently. If the papers are gonna finally acknowledge the dead elephant in the middle of the room , and it must be hard as hell to publish a newpaper between Thanksgiving and December 25th without acknowledging that there IS indeed a Christmas, it must be part of the news stylebook to NEVER mention Christmas without prefacing it with either Hannukah or Ramadan and preferably both.
Have you ever noticed how jewish coworkers will never say "Merry Christmas" to you in return for your "Happy Hannukah"? It's as if you were asking them to recite a "Hail Holy Queen" fer Chrissakes. It pisses me off to the extent that I won't say "Happy Hannukah" at all. And I certainly won't say "Happy Holiday".
Christians deserve a lot of the blame for this co opting of Christmas by jews. And let's face it, it is the jews that are behind this. Baltimore and Washington papers have a yearly feature during the Christmas season in which some jew, usually a female of the Lifestyles ilk, will write an article detailing how depressed and alienated she feels during Christmas. Sorta like a Jew in Caesar's Rome feeling left out of the Saturnalia orgy and resenting it, especially with all those hunky pagan males that look like Stephen Boyd running around.
And since all newpapers are virtually indistinguishable from each other I suspect this jewish lamentation that Christmas week makes them feel "different" and that it's hard to pick up a goyim on Christmas eve since they're all home wrapping Christmas presents probably is a staple of papers nationwide. See, jew self absorbtion is so high that their feelings about Christmas trump those of Christians because, let's face it, jews are jews and Christians are only Christians.
But the Christians themselves seem more than willing to take the Christ out of Christmas - dumb f***s that they are.

I work at a department store, and with the exception of a very few (and I stress that highly) items, nothing bears the name "Christmas" on it. One night they had me in the Christmas section, and as I was reshelving the cards, I noticed that maybe 2 out of 10 said Christmas on them. I also noticed the very large selection of Negro-oriented Christmas cards. Surprisingly, they did have "inspirational" cards, which featured lovely White faces on them, and that was a big surprise for me. But one of the things I noticed right off the bat was that the customers rarely use the word Christmas anymore, and instead say the p.c. "holiday" instead. It is the female customers who say it the most (obviously), for they are the most susceptible to p.c. I know that the public resentment of the word "Christmas" is well into high gear in 2002, and will only continue. Words like "Hannukah" and "Ramadan" are fine, but "Christmas" be damned. :o :angry: :ph34r:
