As the British are now totally up themselves with political correctness I'd like to wish you all "Happy Seasonal Holiday" <insert best Queens english>

There too, eh Hogey?
I have a question to ask everyone related to this: If you are not Jewish and don't celebrate Hanukkah, and you celebrate Christmas, would you be "offended" if someone wished you a "Happy Hanukkah" as you were leaving a store?

It's rather rediculous to be fair.......worst of it is in the "Midlands" where I live because of the ethnic diversity the local council renamed Christmas so that it didn't offend anyone......not that they were offended in the slightest but yano........so we have "Winter-fest".......how lame is that!

It has all gone way too far. And I wouldn't be offended if someone wished me a "Happy Hanukkah" or a "Happy Kwanza" or any of those, they are well wishes from strangers no matter what term they use for any of the holidays or whether or not I celebrate said holiday.

Hogey I think that political correctness is a pile of bunk. I don't think that for the most part the people that they powers that be say are offended are indeed offended. Pretty soon you will not be allowed to say Good Day, because the week will be offended that it does not have an equal phrase...so perhaps we will say Good Time Period!

Happy Holidays to everyone!
My master plan is to stay up all week so I'll be tired and I'll be able to sleep on Christmas eve. Because I never can, I'm always too excited!
But I have a feeling that my plan is failing... I'm kind of sick and need to get some rest.
So g'night, ya'll!

From what I can recall having British family...need Hogey to fill in the gaps
instead of turkey its leg of ham with the trimmings, plum pudding with a penny in it if you got the penny it was to give you good luck over the year...right so far? then on Boxing day...I have no idea but that all came about when he rich would place left-overs from their christmas dinner and give it to the poor the following day hence Boxing Day...
In Australia, on christmas eve we would go around the houses in the area and see the christmas lights, as it was way too hot to sleep, then we would go to sleep, wake up and see the pressies the usual pile of paper in the middle of the loungerrom floor, run amok, watch the christams pageant from Canada (makes ours look sick)....then have the family around have the traditional aussie christmas bbq....then a light christmas dinner and then off to bed. Wake up the next morning and watch the boxing day test match, or the sydney to hobart yacht race....
I'll be in New York so that is going to be interesting!!!!

Dragon, we don't do turkey on Christmas either, we do ham! We do turkey on Thanksgiving, and it is too close to Christmas to do it again, at least for me. I know alot of people that do prime rib or other beef roast too. I had thought in England they did roast beef with yorkshire pudding...but I am not sure why I think that!!!
