I haven't been to a Christmas Concert since I was in Grade 6 but from what I've heard, they have definately changed. I couldn't even imagine what they call it now.I could see throwing in a few songs from different cultures but i was told that a bunch of the usual tunes have been axed.I just find it sad.Anyone agree?

I totally agree. I don't belong to any religious denomination so Christmas songs are just Christmas songs to me. Besides, if parents are really concerned about their child participating in something they feel is against their family's beliefs, then don't have your child participate. Or better yet, start your own concert about Hannukah, Quanza, or whatever the hell you believe in. This country's obsession with being politically correct about every little inconsequential detail in life really needs to stop. It's just getting stupid at this point.

I still make a point of saying Merry Christmas to the salespeople whenever I buy stuff too.(I know at Sears they're supposed to say "Happy Holidays" to everyone.)It's good to see that people find this shitty as well.

I feel like Christmas is the one time of year where being Politically INcorrect couldn't hurt anyone. Just because the Christian religion hurts and attacks other people's religions all year round is no reason to make them feel bad about during such a Cheritable time as Christmas.
Christmas is the time of year where you get more by giving more. You feel good by not just getting, but giving. In fact, you usually feel better by giving- the more you give, the better you feel. And I also feel like the feeling of this time of year makes you want less of all the things you take more of during the other seasons. Gratitude and thankfullness is very filling when it's all around you.
Anyway, religion is for the individual. And I have no problem with people sponsoring whatever gathering and program they want. Fuck- if some yokel rednecks want to have a Black People Hatin' Christmas Concert, I couldn't care less. Not when it's Christmas. If there is a God, let him/her/them/it do the PITYing of the ignorant for you.
Christmas is just that time of year. Nothing more needs to said. Or defined, re-organized, sorted out, pushed around... If you see something you don't like in a window display, just shrug it off and walk away. You should know what you're going home to. Focus on that if you think everyone else is clueless.

The broo-ha-ha over the political correctness of Christmas is proof that we've gone completely over the rational line with our P.C. values in America. It started out with good intentions; keeping bigotry out of our everyday lives. And that's a good thing. The political correctness movement DID start out with good intentions, and was an improvement for society as a whole. But it's now being applied to anything and everything whether what it's being applied to is harmful or harmLESS. And that's not a good thing, because it leads to unnecessary censorship and an overly litigious society. At some point we need to be able as a society to tell the difference between something harmless and well-meant like Christmas and something evil and hateful like using the N word.

That's that bullshit. Santa has been saying Ho Ho Ho for years, and now all of a sudden everybody is all like "Oh noes, what if some overly sensitive bitch thinks Santa is calling her a prostitute? It must not be! Ban it!" People can take their political correctness and shove it so far up their ass that it comes out their ears.
