Is Political Correctness Killing Christmas?

Living in england for almost 6 years, I noticed that political correctness is killing christmas.. i,e.. naming it as winterval instead of xmas,...Councils are making sure that people of different culture/religious belief are not offended by celebrating xmas...

isn't it weird you seldom hear people greeting you Merry Christmas....but everyone greet you happy christmas?

^happy holidays is a catch-all para walang maoffend....it covers christmas, hanukkah and ramadan. kahit atheists covered siguro because the time off makes it a holiday (not sure).

di uso dito sa england (i think even the rest of europe) walang christmas or yearend bunos. only american companies (but sometimes they even follow local companies) here give yearend bunos.

This whole "political correctness" thing is retarded. Glad the Philippines isn't affected by it much, but then again the Philippines is predominantly Christian.

Christmas is "politically incorrect" and "offensive", while Hannukah, Ramadan et al are not (double standard eto sa Western countries)?! I find the double standard offensive.
