I get maybe it’s a little early but so far I’ve heard nobody wish each other a good thanksgiving

Oh please.

If you want to know what the “War on Christmas” actually looked like, there are 12 days of Christmas. The last day of Christmas is on January 6. So the “War on Christmas” was rabid MAGA hats storming the Capitol, not some atheist, Muslim or Jew that you fear.

Then why did our public schools remove all references to any holidays?

And why did my company stop calling our holiday party a holiday party and instead call it the end of year party? They started doing this 10-15 years ago, long before Trump and maga. Why? To appease those who don’t celebrate any winter holiday…allegedly. I know for a fact that they atheists who prompted the change do in fact celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah, but apparently in a “secular” way. Um, our holiday party (we never called it a Christmas party) wasn’t religious. Whatever.

The reality is many people are nervous about saying anything holiday related…including for thanksgiving. Apparently some people can’t separate the modern day celebration from pilgrims and Indians, so some feel it’s a complicated ritual.

I’ve been saying, “Enjoy the long weekend!” Seems safe.

I believe schools removed all references to holidays at the request of school-system DEI departments; in other words:

- to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.
