All I know is that things were much better way back when I was growing up and everything was Merry Christmas AND Happy Easter.

Back then it was a big deal (not to mention rather rare) when a knife was found on a HS student. Now we have kindergartner's carrying guns to school?

Yes, it was a much better time and I'm rather grateful I don't have to raise children in these "un-holy" times.

The little kids aren't the ones getting insulted by the Christmas, Halloween, or Easter parties (they like getting all the cupcakes and candy!)

Like InsanitysAngel said, there are a lot more serious things to worry about than what color plate we put those cupcakes on!

Has anyone ever considered the fact that by taking away all the innocence of childhood, and making these kids consider every aspect of each little thing they say or do might be politically incorrect - that we are the ones turning them into the knife and gun weilding stressed out sociopths that we are seeing? Our children hardly have a chance to be kids anymore. They have to watch our for pedophiles, terrorists, bigots (race, religion, whatever). Is it any wonder they can't trust anyone? <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Do you think that childhood's innocence has been lost for good, or do you think it can be reclaimed?

It seems that folks are so afraid of offending someone, and some folks are suddenly realizing how terribly offended they are, that people (such as schools) go to an incredible extent to do away with any mention of Christ.
What do you think?


I think Christmas should remain a religious holiday. That way, non-Christians (who comprise the majority of people in the world) won't feel pressured into sharing the holiday.

I wonder if a lot of people would feel the same way if non-Christian holidays became as big as Christmas has become. How would they feel to have it thrown in their faces nearly everywhere they go?

Well, considering that most of the Christmas celebration that is going on is nothing but a commercial free for all, I am not sure which religious aspects folks might feel pressured into sharing. Much of the Christmas celebrations around here center around Santa and gift buying, where every store clerk is properly drilled to wish a "happy holiday" or "joyful winter celebration". <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

They call it CHRIST-MAS because it is supposed to be CHRIST-IAN.
