Found this in the City News Letter. They do their best not to use the word "Christmas."
 


"The Suffolk Grand Illumination took place on November 19th at Market Park, right next to Seaboard Station Railroad Museum at 326 North Main Street.
The Grand Illumination featured the lighting of a 32-foot tree with thousands of sparkling white lights. Hot apple cider was on hand to ward off any "Jack Frost" nipping at your nose"

So this is a "Grand Illumination Tree." Suffolk also has a "Safety Tree" but, sorry,  no "Christmas Tree." I  imagine Easter will be renamed, "Colored Egg Season" with lots of bunnies but no reference to Christ.

Why do these "christians" continue to find the word Christmas offensive? How about a word that offends me?Ramadam.Maybe from now on we can call it "wasted muslim month when practically nothing gets done." It has a nice ring to it,don't you think?
It is truly disheartening to see that the majority no longer rules in America. In my opinion, the local, state and federal government have reached the point of absurdity when it comes to protecting our cherished beliefs. America is still a Judeo/Christian country whether Barack Obama, Mayor Johnson,our CM, Patrick Robers and fellow Marxist/socialist/liberal/progressives and PC types like it or not.The Cathloic Church made it clear that certain political leaders would not receive Communion. I would not have a problem with any church locally telling our so called "christian" leaders telling them they are not welcome to celebrate CHRISTMAS in their church.
How can so called "christians" consider themselves to be Christian that rejects the Christian faith's holiest day next to Easter, Is that next?
The point of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus not a date. Will the so called christians who are political leaders celebrate his death or the reserrection as we know it and understand it?
Liberals are like a virus, morphing, infiltrating and ruining every aspect of our lives. Christmas. Boy Scouts. Marriage. Education. Science. Military. Politics. News. Entertainment. Sports. Liberty.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all IS readers.
If you are offended I dont give a....

To those "christians" down on Market Street:


Happy Holidays

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious, secular persuasions and or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.
Just to show you I wish no harm to any of you, I will be sending all of you morons a gross of incandescent light bulbs.
MERRY CHRISTMAS

And all this when they all take off for a four day Christmas Holiday. I went by the City Hall to do some of my business with them this morning, only to find that the City Manager gave everyone employed by the City with a few exceptions a four day Christmas break, with full pay!

How is it possible to have such idiots in charge? Oh I forgot, it is Christmas and I am sounding so much like Screwed, oh I mean Scruge. (my pun on words)

Happy Ramahanakawanzamas just doesn't get you in the spirit of the season. Patrick Roberts is still dancing around the subject.
