"The Season of Gifts" proves that Christmas has nearly completed it's transition into a retail holiday in many places.

Didn't you folks get the memo, anything related to Christianity has been ruled obsolete and incorrect.  Other religions are offended therefore Christmas is no long considered an appropriate holiday. Please remove any reference of said holiday from public display on public property and in your workplace. That is all.


And to think when I first saw the title, I thought this was going to be about angry, spite filled, feminazi's.  However the C-word I was thinking of fits too as a reply to these people.

If you are not a "Christian" you should not celebrate "Christmas" as it is a christian holiday. People are so pussified these days, becoming offended because they feel left out of a holiday celebrating the birth of a Christ that they don't believe in anyway.

Damn hippiecrits.

FYI.

www.edenproject.com/2920.htm


The original Garden of Eden is a symbol of paradise, but also of mankind’s rejection from it. Historically, conservation policies have also assumed that the best-quality environments are untouched by people and that environmental care meant keeping people out of them. The real situation is more complex than that.

Yes, humans have caused lots of problems in the world, but there are also places where we have lived in harmony with nature without complete destruction, and sometimes with a beneficial effect. Many of the challenges that lie ahead can only be met by people being there, not by their walking away. Communities have already begun to make steps to be effective stewards of the world. The Eden Project is here to showcase those steps.

We’re also here to show that environmental awareness is about quality of life, at all levels. The ‘environment’ is shorthand for issues that impact on us in a thousand ways every day, from the food we eat and the clothes we wear to the weather we enjoy or suffer. Understanding our world better, and the part we play in it, is also about having fun, not about living grey, hair-shirt lives. It is about celebrating the beauty and richness, both natural and man-made, of other countries besides our own’.

Yah.  Mac had a WORLD CLASS rant about it last year on pre-ban.com that had me on the floor in tears, just about to pee my pants.  Pre-ban had a glitch and while the thread comes up in search, the contents of the thread isn't there anymore.

Well, Eden is from the Old Testament. So it also includes the joooos!

They call it "Time of Gifts," but don't they know what the gifts given at Christmas are supposed to symbolize?

RE: Christmas Party
DATE: December 1

   I'm happy to inform you that the office Christmas Party will take place on December 23, starting at noon in the banquet room at Luigi's Open Pit Barbecue. No-host bar, but plenty of eggnog! We'll have a small band playing traditional carols ... feel free to sing along. And don't be surprised if our General Manager shows up dressed as Santa Claus!

FROM: Pat Smith, Human Resources Director
DATE: December 2
RE: Christmas Party

   In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees. We recognize that Chanukah is an important holiday which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year. However, from now on we're calling it our "Holiday Party." The same policy applies to employees who are celebrating Kwanzaa at this time. Happy now?

FROM: Pat Smith, Human Resources Director
DATE: December 3
RE: Holiday Party

   Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table...you didn't sign your name. I'm happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, "AA Only," you wouldn't be anonymous anymore. How am I supposed to handle this? Somebody?

FROM: Pat Smith, Human Resources Director
DATE: December 7
RE: Holiday Party

   What a diverse company we are! I had no idea that December 20 begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating, drinking and intimacy during daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees beliefs.

   Perhaps Luigi's can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party, or else package everything for take-home in little foil swans. Will that work? Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Overeaters Anonymous to sit farthest from the dessert buffet and pregnant women will get the table closest to the restrooms. Did I miss anything?

FROM: Pat Smith, Human Resources Director
DATE: December 8
RE: Holiday Party

   So December 22 marks the Winter Solstice...what do you expect me to do, a tap-dance on your heads? Fire regulations at Luigi's prohibit the burning of sage by our "earth-based Goddess worshipping" employees, but we'll try to accommodate your shamanic drumming circle during the band's breaks. Okay???

FROM: Pat Smith, Human Resources Director
DATE: December 9
RE: Holiday Party

   People, people, nothing sinister was intended by having our CEO dress up like Santa Claus! Even if the anagram of "Santa" does happen to be Satan," there is no evil connotation to our own "little man in a red suit."

   It's a tradition, folks, like sugar shock at Halloween or family feuds over the Thanksgiving turkey or broken hearts on Valentine's Day. Could we lighten up?

FROM: Pat Smith, Human Resources Director
DATE: December 10
RE: Holiday Party

   Vegetarians!?!?!? I've had it with you people!!! We're going to keep this party at Luigi's Open Pit Barbecue whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest from the "grill of death," as you so quaintly put it, and you'll get your #$%^&*! salad bar, including hydroponics tomatoes...but you know, they have feelings, too. Tomatoes scream when you slice them. I've heard them scream, I'm hearing them scream right now!

FROM: Karen Jones, Acting Human Resources Director
DATE: December 14
RE: Ms. Pat Smith and Holiday Party

   I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Pat Smith a speedy recovery from her stress-related illness and I'll continue to forward your cards to her at the sanitarium. In the meantime, management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd off with full pay.

   Happy Holidays
