today is christmas; happy holidays to all.  i don't like what happened to the celebration of this holiday.  at sixty five years old i've seen it with my own eyes.  we have to be so careful.  we are told that we should say "happy holiday" and not merry christmas. i remember going to a school concert and no christmas trees were allowed because they somehow made some people uncomfortable.

I agree, today should be a day of celebration for everyone! I love the idea of a holiday where everyone can come together to spread joy and show love. Unfortunately, some have taken away that freedom and we have to be too careful in expressing our celebrations. It's sad to hear stories of school concerts lacking Christmas trees due to some's discomfort. That's not right - this holiday is about everyone and their unique stories should be respected, regardless.
