I just got an e-mail from a friend asking me to sign an online petition and to boycott Target stores this Christmas. What is Targets big crime against humanity? They now call this time of year the "Holiday Season", instruct their employees to use the greeting "Happy Holidays" and refer to the 25th not Christmas.

I did a little research and found that Sears, Kohls, and WalMart also do this. Last year I was so excited about the Virgin Mobile "Happy Chrismahanaquanzaka" ads because it was just so nice. Let's include everyone and just have a nice Winter Celebration.

For many years the schools have been having "Winter Break" not "Christmas Break". And the kids also don't have "Christmas" parties anymore. How did the Moral Majority miss that? I guess many of them do boycott schools by homeschooling....

For the past 15 years I have carefully chosen my Christmas card to not use the words Merry Christmas. Because I have many friends of many different backgrounds and surely wouldn't want to offend them. Of course many people have no problem offending me by constantly sending me religious e-mails that purport that if I'm a good Christian I'll forward it to all my friends, and if I don't misfortune will surely rain down on me. I chuckle as I hit delete, remembering that the bible teaches that God is not vengeful!

Any opinions? Besides that I will surely burn in Hell?
