Let me start by saying that I am not writing this to start any debate on this issue since it has many aspects and I don't think we need to waste our time looking into all aspects. Last weekend was Easter weekend and many sites today had news items related to how Easter holidays are changed into Spring Bunny. On Easter Sunday, Google chose to honor an iconic figure on its front page –called the "doodle"– which of course is viewed by millions around the world. Many would have expected that figure to be Jesus, or perhaps something related to Easter. "Merry Christmas" is no more valid and its "Happy Holidays". I heard a story that someone who came to US from a different country was asked to go for counselling because he was again and again using "Merry Christmas" and its offensive. Good Friday is no longer a holiday. It's a holiday in a country like India but I worked on that day in US. I don't want to elaborate on these points...
