Today is Thursday, December 8th, 2005; Karen's Korner #689

I received this via email some time last week. Might add a little humor to the Christmas season!
 
 
The Committee to Rename Anything Christian, Knowing it's Potentially Offensive or Threatening to Someone (C.R.A.C.K.P.O.T.S.) has completed its mandate.

As you know, we had humble beginnings back in 2005, when we successfully removed the highly offensive and threatening word "Christmas" from TV ads, catalogs, public schools and government property. Thank the non-specific deity that we now have had two decades worth of Winter Holidays that offend no one.

We thought this would be a good time to review the other totally non-offensive holidays we have managed to place on the calendar. You'll see that we've expanded our efforts over the years to cover all sorts of unpleasantness.

January -- Celebrate the First Day of Whatever Calendar Your Personal Tradition May Choose Day;

February -- Significant Other Person or Object Day

March -- Wear Green But Don't Mention a Specific Nationality Day

May -- Don't Look Back on the Past Day

July -- Independence, Dependence or Codependence Day

September -- People Who Like to Work or Just Hang Out Day

October -- Celebrate With a Knowing Smile All the Europeans Who Claim to Have Discovered an Already Occupied Continent Day

November -- Turkey Day -- but we're discussing whether to rename it Turkey or Soy Protein Meat Substitute Day

And of course, December -- Winter Holiday Day
