    Nice one GODfrey....like that Nancy? You just got schooled by GOD, except in this case, you didn't need to spell incorrectly to get yourself there.

    Although I must admit, it's not unusual to see an uneducated christian...not unusual at all.

    Go Festivus!!!!
    Screw Christmas unless it's X-mas!!!

    Nancy is correct: according to the CNN Standerd Dictionary: "The werd holyday is a werd that means a day awf. Like Crismas."

    Use of the CNN Standerd Dictionary is not confined to headline writers and commentators named Nancy, by the way. It is in wide use throughout the Internet. Matt Drudge swears by it.

    I guess getting on a religion editor's case for an inability to spell is like yelling at my dog for not knowing calculus. Sorry.

    as an agnostic festivas xmas and all other HOLYday's do not have to have any religious meaning. I love Santa,reindeer,trees,lights decorations, Carols gift exchanging,family friends and of course great food and beer!! May everyone forget religious brainwashing divisions and have a very Merry Christmas!!!!

    A secular HOLYday? Isn't that a contradiction in terms?
