Call me weird, but I think some of it is.....ya don't really see any "Merry Christmas" signs anywhere...or even any religious displays.

It's all "seasons greetings or Happy Holidays... almost a generic holiday... That may have something to do w/it....for me? dunno

YEAH well..my part time job is snow removal,and if we had't have had three blizzards in the last two weeks,I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE had a day off or two.

TOO bad....I wasn't really hoping for a white x-mas but...C'EST LA VIE.

AGREE.I still say Merry x-mas to people though if I'M NOT SURE WHETHER they celebrate it or not.I figure if they get offended,it's their issue to deal with. I KNOW I won't get offended if somebody wishes me HAPPY HANUKAH or some other celebration they have this time of year,the feeling is in them.I think people are afraid they'll offend others by saying it or displaying signms and what not,but I THINK WHAT THEY ARE REALLY DOING IS killing the tradition and surpressing it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!christmas happy

It’s also the economic factors and that fact that there is a war.

They banned the whole spirit of Christmas here in New York. Many business establishments are not allowed to display Christmas ornaments or play the usual Christmas Carols the way most of us New Yorkers used to hear it.
