Controversy over words?

Looks like officials in the US are promoting the use of Happy Holidays over other greeting this season in the name of political correctness. Read the following article to get a flavor of this controversy - http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nation/3546005.html

I can understand diversity in belief needs to be recognized and respected but does that imply calling "Christmas" "Holidays" and pretending that Jesus's birth on 25th December and the Holiday season being at the same time is just a strange unrelated coincidence.

Merry Christmas!

I just came back from the midnight mass at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs at Forest Hills in New York. Must say I was amazed at two things - (1) the large number of people who gathered to celebrate the birth of Jesus and (2) the patience demonstrated by many of the people who had gathered and had to stand through the mass, because of lack of enough seats. This church is well attended at most times but today I saw more people in this church then I had ever seen before. Felt really happy when despite the busy, consumeristic and atheistic philosophy of our daily lives Christmas atleast makes us all get together to reflect and pray. Merry X-mas!

Strike and the City

The MTA Strike that began on December 20th, 2005 is yet another crippling challenge that New Yorkers are fighting against with determination and resilience. As a daily communter on the subway, I surely am anxiously waiting for this deadlock to end.
