Is it true that they are going to change Christmas to Winter Festival Day so they don't offend the non-Christians??

I don't know if it is going to be official, but it is nit bad idea if you address to non-Christians. I have many non-Christian friends, so I use the word Winterval only when address to them because I need to share the joy of my holiday with them too. It is not true that you can love and respect only Christians and if Christianity is about love and respecting, it shouldn't be selective. Of course, when I address to my Christian friends, I sue the word Christmas.

They tried it in Birmingham, the PC idiots called it Winterval.
These idiots are so apologetic, they can view their own colon.
Every Religion on Earth respects Christianity, exactly as every Good Christian respects all other Religions.
Who, I ask respects these PC idiots?.
Answer, none.
There is a whole industry of PC being imposed on Society and we are paying for it through our taxes at a loss to other worth while concerns benefiting.

Who are "they"?
Christians celebrate Christmas, non-christians don't, but most celebrate some winter holiday.
Can't we all just get along!?!?!

The idea that we should not enjoy ourselves at Christmas to please another bunch of people that don't really care about our festival is so utterly stupid as to be not even worthy of proper thought.
