I replace "holiday" on the forum I have to fill out for the company party too. My sons school also does this crap and I let them know I'm offended they are trying to change the way Canadians and North Americans alike celebrate this time of year, IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME....not holiday time.

Have a few drinks, eat some turkey with family & friends and enjoy the time off, MERRY CHRISTMAS.

I'm just curious what your fellow workers had to say about your changing the whiteboard?

I think that the liberals are offending more people by trying to change things than they ever would by just leaving our traditional stuff in place. I think the preople that have been here the longest having come to this country many generations ago and having lived within the US boundaries the longest actually have more seniority and if we feel the Christmas should be left as is, and the newcomers should have no right to expect it to change, same as a new hire doesn't come to a new job and have the boss kiss their a$$ the first week. If you don't like your new job and the way they do things you have the right to move on, the same applies about where you live, don't like the way we celebrate just move on. God, Christmas, and America are fundamental values that have made this country great and disrupting these values also weakens our country, "God Bless everyone and Merry Christmas"

Well I'm home now, the response was some laughter and "right on"...everyone agrees, let's call it what it is and I will continue to do that.

I know B of A is corporate Satan, but..... over two years ago when I called and said I was going bankrupt if they didn't work with me, they DID! Put me in touch with a non profit credit counseling service who they assured was 100% legit (they are) and B of A thereafter agreed to lowering my loan % to 2% (nothing almost). If not for B of A I would have went bankrupt, now I am halfway to being debt free. I felt obligated to post the other side also.

This story reminds me of dealing with the IRS, after numerous phone calls and trying to get my affairs straightened out and talking to numbskulls I finally found a person who worked there that wanted to do their job and got my stuff straightened out. It just like playing the lottery, after so many dollars spent you might actually win something, your chances are pretty much against it though.

I dont know much about BOA other than they took a goverment handout like the rest of the crooked banks. I will say when it comes to the Flag and Christmas those are two things that should not be messed with. Christmas is one of the great American traditions for religious and non-religious Americans. It is a all encompassing holiday and for those people who get offended by Christmas DONT LOOK. I dont want to see plain white lights or Holiday signs in stores, it is Christmas dambit. I will say I have seen a few more stores with Merry Christmas signs hangning up though so
MERRY CHRISTMAS

With all due respect sir, you are comparing Apples to Oranges. I'm sure there are those few that try to help the financially challenged but we are talking about Morals , or lack of! We are talking about Bank of AMERICA not following American traditions !
