Holidays is not about trying not to say Christmas.  This was on aired on January 3rd right?  What the fuck happen two days before the third?  A new year?  Is that not a holiday?  Thats why people fucking say Happy Holidays. 


And here is an actual FACT about the Silent Night song

--- Quote ---Ridgewood Elementary didn't change the lyrics to "Silent Night." What they did was perform a 1988 copyrighted play called "The Little Tree's Christmas Gift."

That play actually contains numerous songs about Christmas, including the grand finale, an audience-led group singing of "We Wish You A Merry Christmas." The play's creator, Dwight Elrich, happens to lead the New Covenant Singers of Bel Air Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles.

In fact, "The Little Tree's Christmas Gift" has been performed in several churches, including the Oakwood Forest Christian Church in Kingsport, Tennessee, the St. Anthony Parish School in Des Moines, Iowa, and St. Mark's Episcopal Church of Abeline, Texas.So why are the Silent Night lyrics changed in "Little Tree's Christmas"? Because the play is about a small, lonely Christmas tree that is told it is "too scraggly, it will never sell." That character sings the revised lyrics — "Cold in the night, No one in sight, Winter winds whirl and bite" — in a scene lamenting his sad state. The rewording has absolutely nothing to do with "secularizing" the song.

Real American:
My favorite part was when Letterman accused O'Reilly of not being objective in his reporting. O'Reilly asked him for an example, and Letterman then admitted he had never seen his show.

Letterman came off looking like an idiot. Don't mess with O'Reilly.....
