No Holiday Party for you! (P.C. run amok, again)

I mentioned in another thread that I'm doing contract work for a government agency (which will remain nameless to protect the whatever).

I was in a staff meeting yesterday, and the Boss made her yearly request for someone to volunteer to be on the Christmas Party organizing committee.

She also noted that, last year, at least one staffer had complained about the title "Christmas Party." It was evidently too Christmassy. So, it was changed to "Holiday Party." We wouldn't want to offend.

Well, now "Holiday Party" has also come under fire. It implies holiness, see, and that's not to be tolerated.

So what's the party going to be called this year?

"The Winter Solstice Celebration"

Merry WSC, guys! I'm not making this up.
