Political correctness gone mad
Obviously the phrase 'Happy Holidays' instead of 'Merry Christmas' is more popular in the US than it is in the UK at the moment, but it's only a matter of time before our traditions and values are eroded.

Happy holidays? What is all this politically correct nonsense about and has everybody gone mad? I think it's absolutely ridiculous the lengths that some people go to in order not upset the minorities.

| 09-1-2008 | Further to the last post (and digressing wildly): Cadbury's Caramel Easter Eggs were seen in the window of my local deli on the 17th December. As my (not particularly religious) sister said "not even born yet, and already raising Him from the dead"...

| 22-12-2007 | My first Christmas in UK was horrible with my work colleagues. I’m Asian and here a minority group. We had a secret Santa and I was keen to get involved as I’d done for years as well as celebrating Christmas itself. I had absolutely no idea that I’d be excluded: ‘For fear ...more | Peter |

I say Merry Christmas face to face though, as its far more fe...more | Mrs. A. |
| 19-12-2007 | Christmas for Adults? Yes. It's for adults if they are the managing director of a company selling stuff around this time of year and then its profit, profit profit and nobody gives a damn. Just for the record this Happy Holidays rubbish hasn't taken off as much as you think. I've on...more | Lou |
| 18-12-2007 | I tend to use 'Happy Holidays’, 'Seasons Greetings', and the like to roll together Christmas and New Year.
The thing that I object to is that we don't have Halloween anymore because we've already started with Christmas.

| 18-12-2007 | Overall, I agree with your comments about political correctness gone mad. Britain is a country with a Christian tradition, a tradition that has helped to shape our nation, including our laws, in so many different ways.
