Marcy,

Seriously?  The word Christmas is a compound word combining Christ, as in Jesus 
Christ, & the word mass or a Christian religious celebration.  As Keith stated 
in the original message, in the truest sense, Jesus is the reason for the 
season.  Well, as long as that season is recognized to be Christmas.  

I fail to see why you find Jesus so offensive or @ least the mention of him so 
offensive.  I'd be interested in hearing your answer.  I'm serious about that.

CJ
