I'm so old I Remember when:

[igorsMistress]

Yeah, I guess all that Pagan symbology appropriated for a Christian holiday means people should say Merry Christmas rather than Happy Holidays. ‘Tis the way.

Br'er rabbit. Now that's one Disney show I really enjoyed. Still to this day I don't totally understand its being banned. It makes no more logical sense than changing the General Lee. Wish I still had a VCR player. I've got a copy of that movie somewhere around here.

Are you talking about Disney’s Song of the South from the 1940s, or the 2006 film The adventures of Brer Rabbit (don’t think that one is Disney)?
I don’t think that either is banned, though Disney doesn’t stream their one.

L. B. S. - takes place in India with the moral to not panic but be patient and clever when faced with danger?

Also not banned. Available on Amazon.
Though I note the copy I have at home from my childhood would be considered a rare and valuable book and could fund Christmas this year if I sold it!

To me it appears that there is an ever growing army of people that chose/invented a new profession with which they can manipulate and terrorize their fellow men and women:
The Occupationally Offended

Though the Occupationally Outraged should check their facts before assuming the Occupationally Offended have banned something.

Some people won't say "dead" "killed" or "murdered' or just about anything to do with death. They just say "unalived".

I find in the US everyone says ‘passed away’ which is just as much of a euphemism.

 

[RoyalChick]

I still remember when things were "Merry Christmas".

It depends where you are. I was wished Merry (or Happy) Christmas dozens of times in stores on Monday when I went to get provisions for today.
Also by a mall cop and a little kid who had clearly just learned the phrase and was yelling it at everyone from her stroller!

Merry Christmas everybody and if that offends you then merry Christmas again

 

[NanaK]

Merry Christmas everybody!
Hope everyone has a very special day.

 

[Canadian Wind]

Happy Christmas everyone!

Wishing you all happy and relaxed Christmas holidays (no matter how you call it)!
