Hanukkah is not one of the big holy holidays.

It does not have a lot of religious significance.

It gets attention because it falls so close to Christmas.

If you look at the link above it doesn't appear that Google ever celebrates any religious holidays.

For example here is Dec. 25 2014. If you scroll to the bottom of the page you'll see what it has been in years past. Has a winter scene and is holiday-ish, but no reference to the actual holiday. Certainly no nativity scene or any reference to the actual religious associations for the holiday.

Holidays 2014 (Day 3)


Easter, as far as I can tell, has no reference on the Google Page. The one exception I saw to the non-religious rule is St. Patty's day.

I don't think they make any references to religious days. Neither should we on this forum.

More ignorance.

Happy belated Thanksgiving

We've become a bunch of politically correct pussies, terrified to paralysis by the slight chance that our words might offend someone. So in that theme, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, Happy Festivus!

For crying out loud...

It's Christmas. It has no particular religious significance for me but it's an excuse to be happy, spend time with people, show a little kindness and have the world be a bit nicer and more pleasant for a few weeks - there's nothing wrong with that.

I suppose we could always call it the "pagan festival of the winter solstice hijacked by the early church to supplant their cultural beliefs by arbitrarily assigning Christ's birth to that day" Day but it doesn't really roll off the tongue as easily.

I bet that girl above is crazy in bed. And just crazy.

Sarah Silverman, boy has that girl got a potty mouth. Her standup routines are so gross I can't watch them. Jimmy Kimmel dumped his wife to marry her, so POP's suspicion may be right.

If I ran a website, I wouldn't go there either. You mention one's group's holiday but forget the others? That's the issue at hand here, not PC, I think.
