- You can create PDFs with a little program called PDF Converter 5 Pro from Buy.com for $99. Throw in a copy of OpenOffice software and the Dell is cheaper than the Apple. I don't buy it.

The whole issue is rather benign, but always a chance for us Christians to puff our chests and crusade against what they see as hostility , when in fact it is a grand step of tolerance.

In a world so torn apart by by everything that Jesus espoused , should we not extend an appreciation to those who do not know xmas, and who participate in public life?

Since the tradition of lighting evergreen trees at midwinter, and celebrating the birth of a god on December 25 pre-date Christianity, isn't it far more "politically correct" (and doctrinally incorrect) to claim them as "Christian" because it is the dominant religion? :)

The biggest absurd in this story is that people of other faiths don't use a tree in their holidays. So this is insulting not only to Christians, but to everybody else as well

Politically Correctness has gone to far. A Christmas Tree is a Christmas Tree is a Christmas Tree. Ho Hum and Bah Humbug are the wonderful feelings of this season. As a child, I remember the magic in the air, the joyful music of Christmas Carols, walking in the snow admiring the homes brightly decorated with lights and the beauty of the season. People should be free to celebrate how they want. Where ever the hell we are headed...ain't so good!

PCism is out of control everywhere and we fight this fight every year. The silver lining is that by fighting the fight, it means that the people still have a voice and we don't live in Communist China where dissent is quashed.

Don't be discouraged by the fact you did not know about the Halifax explosion despite your knowledge of WWII history. It actually occured during WWI.

Ah... that would explain it then! :-) Thanks for the clarification, John.

"Merry Christmas" signifies birth of a faith.Nobody has the moral right to condone those who wish to celebrate the birth of their religion either on individual or public level(ie.in this context,specificaly by saying "Merry Christmas").With all that is going on around the world (even without), those of us that are of other faith , should have the decency of atleast wishing back(in a manner that is right and propper) our christian brothers and sisters, during their most important of festivals.No religion forbids this because no religion is so petty (that is why they are relegions - followed by millions).It is only our self-centered insecurities that propogate such absurdities.
