I Thought Christmas Was Called ‘Holiday’

I thought we were banning Christmas and replacing it with the generic name ‘Holiday’ to avoid offending people. Now we’re calling Independence Day / 4th of July the generic ‘Holiday’ as well.

Lately, I’ve seen the 4th of July referred to the ‘Holiday Weekend’ where towns hold ‘Patriotic Festivals’ with ‘Patriotic Decorations’. It seems that we don’t want to offend non-citizens by celebrating our nations declaring it’s Independence on the 4th of July.

Here is an example of a movie blurb that will warm any Liberal Socialist Democrat’s…. ‘progressive sensibilities’:

STUDIO BRIEFING: July 3, 2009
NEW ICE AGE EXPECTED TO BE HOT
Global warming will take a holiday at the box office this holiday weekend as a new Ice Age dawns with an expected five-day take of about $60-70 million, according to industry forecasters. Last year, Will Smith’s Hancock took first place with $62.6 million. In a surprise, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs leaped ahead of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen out of the holiday starting gate on Wednesday with an official take of $13,791,157

I love the way the author goes out of his way to work in the ‘global warming’ angle with the ‘take a holiday…this holiday weekend’ bit. Gotta hit all the PC high points…
