My favorite X-mas song ... For you to 'PLAY'

Happy Christmas Eve my fu-friends! My page probably looks as if someone puked holiday decor all over it ... lol Sorry, just have today and tomorrow to try to use up some gifs ... (wouldn't want me "re-gif-ting" now would you)? So what your take on the Holiday Decorations? I know its been pressed for local government agencies to be more 'PC' in selecting their festive decor - wanting it to be more non-demoniacal in theme. I understand that, I really do! By no means should a government office have all Christian faith decor. "Winter Season" which covers all faiths should surface. As for what people say: That's entirely different story though!" I've worked with the public all my life, So it's rather natural for me to say: "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons Greetings" It's part of working with the public & respecting other peoples beliefs and/or traditions. I read that people file suit because they heard a government worker telling people Merry Christmas and it offended a non-Christian. They felt it (for the worker to say that) crossed the line of separation of church & state. *ahem* It was a 'person' who expressed (actually responded to) a seasonal greeting, with a proper retort. As I said, I've been in the public eye all my working life: I don't assume every people celebrates the same holidays - Hence: "Seasons Greetings" But - There is NOTHING wrong with the proper response! (as shown) Me:"Thank You, Happy Holidays" Family: "Your welcome, Merry Christmas" Me:"Merry Christmas to you too!" That was a polite response, not a solicitation to join a religion! lol. I had Jewish neighbors growing up and our convo's went something like: Me:"Howdy Neighbor, Happy Holidays" Neighbor: "Hi, you too - Merry Christmas" Me:"Happy Honica(sp?) to you as well!" See, A polite exchange - nothing more! Just makes me think that people need to get the candy cane outta their asses ... err - um or sorry: "Seasonal appropriate candy" *shakes head* With that, heres this:
