A school teacher in (I think it was) upper NY State found herself under attack from right wing religious extremists (more intolerants) because her students were signing a song using the expression "Happy Holidays". The extremists accused her of changing the words from "Happy Christmas". How satanic! Using the term "Happy Holidays" is not acceptable when right wing religious extremists have decided they must save us from ourselves.

Fortunately for that teacher, the song was originally written using "Happy Holidays". Otherwise we would have had another Spanish Inquisition. As we all know, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. Happy Holidays to ya all – because I remember why people fled Europe to settle here.
