Who listens? Is it truly worth your time to hear every soundbite out of Washington? Or every soundbite on every so called news channel? If it truly is news, why do they only devote about 60 seconds to each story? Remember Katrina? Remember the Tsunami? Those stories were news. News stories have legs beyond the latest soundbite.

"News" in the United States has become a race to beat the next organization to the latest item that is being Hyped.

"Seasons Greetings" and "Happy Holidays", as greetings at this time of year, have been around longer than the people giving the soundbites. "Happy Holidays" was so common, it became a song in the 1942 musical "Holiday Inn". In the movie it was sung on New Years Eve, and obviously recognized the clustering of holidays at this time of the year.

This is just another faux news story, that will die in a couple of weeks. Then we can move onto the next "scandalous" piece of hype. Anyone want to predict what that will be?

BTW: I have a CHRISTMAS Tree, and I will wish you MERRY CHRISTMAS, but I also have an inflatable Snoopy on his Sopwith Camel doghouse in my front yard. Just because something doesn't specifically relate to religion at Christmas time, doesn't make it inherently sacrilegious.
