"They should be able to sing something like 'jesus was killed on the cross'!"

This was when we were talking just now in the office about being PC during the holidays. Her friend is a music teacher in Jersey and they're singing a Channukah song and a Divali (Hindu holiday) song, but they're not singing any really jesus-ey or Christmas-ey songs.

I was amused.

I was watching CNN last night and one of the commentators said that he thinks we're going into a period of "severe political correctness"... um, I think we're there already and we need to severely lighten up. The holidays are, for most people, not religious celebrations but mere excuses to make big dinners, and most importantly get presents.

I think we should all just celebrate Chrismakwanzaakah, and call it a deal.
