Has he not learned that it's not politically correct to say Merry Christmas? But then he has no idea what is correct!!!!

My comment had nothing to do with political correctness.  It was the "Goodwill to All Men" comment given some of the things he has said in teh last 8 weeks of electioneering.

I have no problem - even as an atheist - with Brown saying "Happy Christmas".  I find the whole "happy holidays" thing very annoying.  Christians took this festival over many many years ago and Bermuda as well as most of the rest of the Western world has been brought up with this week being a Christmas holiday.  If Brown is Christian, why shouldn't he refer to the holiday as Christmas.

I knew what you meant Blue... I was just avoiding saying what Dr B was thinking.... Good will to All Men (as long as they look like me)

As I said in another post, "Goodwill to all men" unless you're white, ex-pat, gay, Jim Butterfield, A black UBP supporter, a house ni****. And Bermudians STILL think they're the friendliest people on earth.

All posters, have a pleasant non-denominational hijacked pagan winter festival!
