Is it my imagination, or is it no longer politically incorrect to say the word "Christmas" this year?

If those of us who are Christians do not respect our own culture and traditions, how can we expect other people (non-Christians) to respect our culture and traditions? Is it ok to say that I am a Christian? Hope nobody is offended or feels excluded.

For the 1,000th time, it is a "Christmas" tree and not a holiday tree.
 
Makes no difference with me. Tis nothing more than just another day in my life (and no I am not a Scrooge).
But true if as Christians we kowtow to every one else's culture and traditions when they feel offended by ours then it is no wonder that we change our culture and traditions to make the offended feel better.
 
I wish Christmas was making a comeback. It is ridiculous that in some cases we (christians) have to refer to the Christmas Season as the Holiday Season or a Holiday tree or Holiday Parade. When all the other religious holidays can be called by their names E.g. Chanukah and Eid. Another example is a chain of stores that are in the malls across the GTA and they used to be called Christmas Corner but now they changed their name to The Holiday Store. They just sell Christmas stuff no other religious holiday merchandise.

I guess everyone is so uptight so we now have to say everything politically correct. Afraid that we might offend someone with say Christmas that is just stupid.
 
I think we would all be a lot more enthusiastic about Christmas, if the retailers did not start hawking Christmas in late november. One month of the year for Christmas, Bah humbug!

In any event, Christmas is not really a christian celebratin. I was a feast to mark the shortest day i.e. the promise of the sun coming back in the northern hemisphere. The christians who wanted to christianize the wild people in northern europe, hijacked the feast. So, actually, festive season is a quite appropriate term. Little baby Jesus was not really born on dec 24th.

Guess again I saw them starting before Rememberence day and actually saw a christmas tree up right after halloween. :eek:
 
it's nice to see ya'll are embracing the spirit of Christmas : )

Call it as you wish. I'm not one much for culture, tradition or "holidays" [civic, religious or otherwise] from an individual perspective, but I'm cool with others celebrating as they wish and am sincere with the "formalities" when necessary ... hell, even if they don't respect my outlook as an individual, which for the most part they don't because it seems to bemuse them ... maybe, understandably so ... so hey, knock yourselves out.

Just be sure to let those fir, pine and spruce trees die as humane a death as possible.

ach, t' hell with it ... maybe I'll get a wreath in the shape of a peace sign to hang on the door in my condo complex.

Peace, Salaam, Shalom ...........



PS Happy Christmas
