		<description>Wow -- what a sad commentary on &#039;us&#039;, the Christians.  The whole PC &#039;thing&#039; that really bothers me is the suggestion that we just offer happy holiday/season&#039;s greetings wishes to one another as we don&#039;t want to &#039;offend&#039;.  I have to say that, if a Jewish person wished me a happy Hanukkah, a Muslim, a nice Ramadan or someone observing Kwanzaa, a similar greeting, I certainly wouldn&#039;t be offended in the least!  I would simply respond &#039;Happy whatever&#039; back to them!!!  How are cheerful words ever considered offensive??  Some people will ride the PC train to their grave!  There is too much going on in the world to fuss about such a silly thing!!  UGH!!
BY THE WAY - MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!</description>

		<description>It&#039;s sad to say that this is far too true.  How in the world have we fallen away so far from our Christian Christmas celebration.  It really bothers me to see my grandchildren&#039;s school celebrating Kwanzaa and not Christmas.  What do they think Christmas is all about?  Don&#039;t they see the &quot;Christ&quot; in Christmas.  

How many people would be out shopping for Kwanzaa presents?  I&#039;m not even sure what Kwanzaa is all about.  Certainly nothing good.</description>
