A lot of the controversy enters the elementary schools, and I noticed no matter how hard people try to silence "Christmas", it will NEVER happen. All down our hallways, the children told the story of Christmas in their school work, their drawings, their essays, their letters to Santa where they remembered Jesus.

If I'm referring to Thanksgiving, the entire month of December, and New Year's, though, I may say "holiday season." After Thanksgiving, though, that pretty much becomes "Christmas season" as a rule for me. I know that people are trying to be politically correct about things, but Christmas has nothing to do with politics. And they keep crammin' that ol' "separation of Church and State" thing down our throats, so politics needs to take 2 steps backwards right on out of Christmas! That's my 2 cents on the subject. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Jacqueline!
