[plug][OT] Xmas

[John Knight]

As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I find it rather amusing that it's seen as 
offensive to Muslims, but not a mention of anyoen else. ;) We're not 
offended by Christmas, so it's cool if everyone else celebrates it, although 
we do get rather offended when people get violent and gnatty about us not 
celebrating it, that can be rather awful.....

Go ahead, "be merry" as it were, although have some understanding about the 
rest of us, in case there's any biggots out there. ;)

Make lunch, not war.
