On the verge of ignorance.
A co-workers daughter went to the post office the other day to buy some stamps. The clerk asked her if she wanted the stamps with the Baby and mother on them. The postal clerk informed her that she was not allowed to say the names of those on the stamp.
Yes it was the baby Jesus and Mary. This insanity is getting out of hand!
MERRY CHRISTMAS

This definitely goes in the Insanity category. On my blog I would have labeled it “wtf” Sorry, but.
The baby and the mother. For pete’s sake - what’s going on.
Now that I’m not corporate anymore, I can say whatever I want, even something as daring as “Merry Christmas”
OK, let me get this straight…
We have this internationally, celebrated, federally recognized, Holiday called Christmas. We all know what the origins of the Holiday are in regard to our own culture (even with it’s pagan roots). The Post Office will be closed, and it’s employees given the day off for this federally, recognized Holiday. But they’re not allowed to tell us who’s on the stamp that commemorates this internationally, celebrated and federally, recognized Holiday?
How did we get to this point?
I’m wondering how come “we” and I’m not including us here, worry so much about offending people with our beliefs and yet our governing body thinks nothing of imposing ourselves all over the world with no regard to those people’s feelings. This didn’t come out the way I planned to say it but I’m too tired to think straight.
@Linda - I hear ya sister!
@cassie-b - I reply Merry Christmas to everyone who wishes me happy holidays. I also thank them for that and say yes my thanksgiving was happy.
@M+ - I wonder how long before the government and aclu decide to try and take away the holiday status of Christmas? Until they realize that means they would have to go to work.
@Linda - Sad thing is, most others really don’t care about our celebration of Christmas. The only ones who really want to kill it are those who’s only god is money.
Currently, there isn’t any pressure to eliminate Christmas as a Holiday, only to make a nameless, faceless, generic holiday out of it. I hate to say this, but if the ACLU decides to eliminate Christmas altogether, every retailer on the face of the earth will rally behind us. If Christmas goes, so does all of their money.
The retailers, and the various industries that thrive during the Christmas season, may not be able to say it. But if they’re faced with the idea that the consumers have no reason to do any “holiday shopping”, they’ll have plenty of reason to remind us, and the ACLU, that it is Christmas that we’re celebrating. I actually wish the ACLU would try, just so we could see everybody finally rise up against this foolishness.
