Uhm, merrywhiterose, the English language and "Christmas" was here before the US Constitution.

Try this one:
George Bush: Il a mis la << con >> en << conservateur >>.
It works even better in French than in English, hey?

Actually many of these do work.
Feliz Navidad is translated to Happy Nativity which is the scene from the bible when Jesus is born.
So does Felize Nata, it is short for natavitiy.
Anyways, Were you asking a question or making a statement?

Well Angela, the only problem is that all those "Natavidad" words are directly referring to the birth. No matter though.
What I get a kick out of is the fact that the only people to ever ban Christmas in North America were the Christians themselves.
You can find out about it if you simply search for When Christmas was Banned.

Why do THEY have to be lucky? Defy political correctness and show everyone you choose NOT to be The New World Order conformist.
Recently, I toured the office building of a prospective publisher where an office door Christmas decoration contest was in full swing. My pick for First Prize? This door decoration, featuring the words: "Merry Christmas....and if you're OFFENDED by the greeting--get the hell out of America!!" The picture on the door depicted Santa, his sleigh and reindeer--where Rudolph's shiny nose shone on intruding Mexican illegals crossing into America, helped by Hillary and other D.C. notables responsible for political correctness; their heads were beaned by lumps of coal tossed out the sleigh by Santa's elves (one of which bore a striking resemblance to comic actor Denis Leary)!!
Now THAT's a much needed message that needs to be expressed out LOUD AND PROUD! Oh....the next door office occupant wasn't amused by his neighbor's door decoration (he was Jewish, go figure).
So there's NOTHING stopping you from expressing "Merry Christmas" as it should be done so in America--go for it full throttle.
Oh....the "Merry Christmas" door decoration DID win first place!!!!

That is so stupid, why would someone do that in a Christian Holiday? Is Like saying that menorahs shouldn't have the Star of David. That is simply hateful.

It is getting annoying. If someone wants to say Merry Christmas, fine. Capitalizing the first few letters is just shoving your religion onto everyone else.
Elle - wow, feel the Christian love there!

I really don't see why it's a big deal. If my school put up signs that said "Happy Hanukkah" or if somebody said that to me, I'd be just fine. It's a joy in celebration. I see nothing wrong with it. It goes for all holidays.

If it bothers you so much, perhaps you should go live someplace where there is no CHRISTmas. (Like maybe HELL, for starters.)
FRAU HUNTER - Maybe there'll be room for you down there, too. The more, the merrier I guess. FYI - If it weren't for CHRISTmas, you would NOT be wearing that Santa hat. Santa is NOT a Christian symbol, by any means, but his existance is an extension of the celebration of Jesus' birth. In other words, there was a CHRISTmas before there was a Santa. What do you think the entire celebration is about??
Ho! Ho! Ho!!
What KILLS me about you people who take JABS at Christianity, is that when WE JAB BACK, you get all defensive and try to put it back on us. If you can't stand the heat, then don't make the OBNOXIOUS COMMENTS.
I don't recall SHOVING my religion down your throat. Because the MAJORITY of Americans celebrate Christmas, and you are a MINORITY does not exactly mean we are personally laying it upon you. It simply means THE MAJORITY of Americans are Christian. And just like any good democracy, the majority voice RULES. Like I said, if it bothers you that much, then leave.

And a Merry CHRISTmas to you! Glad I'm not speaking in another language. That's what those who fought and died for GOD AND COUNTRY did for us in the USA!

Well I just think that Star Wars fans need to stand up and make sure that Han stays in Hanukkah.
