The politically correct way of talking about Christmas is gaining strength. The trend comes from the USA and consists of replacing "Merry Christmas" with the politically correct "Season's greetings", (literally happy season...!!!!), which here would be something like happy vacation, happy party...or similar.

First it was the multinationals that adopted this denomination, but now our city councils are also joining the bandwagon.

In theory, the denomination Christmas is avoided, so as not to bother those who are not of Christian culture. But why would they be bothered? If I am in Morocco, it will seem to me the most normal thing in the world to celebrate the end of Ramadan, a feast with great family content.

If I am in Israel, or in an area of Jewish culture, I will celebrate Hanuka, which falls close to Christmas (this year on Dec 12) and there are also many lights in the street and a cheerful and family atmosphere. In short, we must enjoy the celebrations of others, or at least not feel offended, as long as they (as in this case) are not offensive to other groups. Can someone explain to me why mentioning Christmas can be offensive to someone else?

I think it is very good to maintain the values of our Judeo-Christian culture, as they are the moral foundation of our society today. And, although with setbacks, we have not done too badly. In fact, 95% of the most democratic countries, where human rights, women's rights, minorities' rights, and also - on average - the most economically developed, are of Christian culture (go through the list of 160 countries in the world and you will see that this is so).

Well, it is good to keep the signs of that culture, because with the signs values are also transmitted. Think, for example, of the Nativity scene, the cribs we have always placed at home. How many things have we not learned around the Nativity scene? For many of us the first "non-violent" approach to animals was to lovingly put the cow, the donkey and the sheep in the nativity scene. Because the rest of the day was spent killing bugs. Not to mention the atmosphere of family, sobriety, service, around the crib. In short, you learn a lot with the signs.

I am afraid (I hope I am wrong), that what is intended is not to avoid disturbing those of non-Christian culture, but simply to eliminate any Christian sign of society. It seems to me a serious mistake. But since the world is free, I allow myself to congratulate you with a Merry Christmas!
