pilbara Thanks for your reply. I am all for christmas spirit and as I have said I too like seeing the lights, I just feel that too many people go overboard with them. In a way I feel that an over exposure to such things has the effect of reducing them from something...

pilbara Over the years we have many things taken from us because someone would take offence. For example many schools in countries where christianity is the main religion can't have christmas activities as that would offend people of other religions. I am happy for...

pilbara Thanks for your reply. I thought it probably was spelled that way, but it's not a term I would use, to me a hoe is a gardening tool.

pilbara Thanks for your reply. Me too. I agree that being PC has become completely ridiculous. I see nothing wrong with ho ho ho either. I sometimes wonder about the minds of people who perceive something offensive in something completely innocent.
