Tulsa Oklahoma is having another Christmas parade, the same Christmas parade they've had for the last seventy (70) years.
But this year, some zit in City government decided to rename the Christmas parade to the "holiday" parade.
Seems that logic - or anything approaching logic - is not something to be found in the Tulsa city government.
Christmas is a holiday. Easter is a holiday. St. Patricks Day is a holiday. Thanksgiving is a holiday.
So a holiday parade should have entries celebrating all the holidays. There should be a float with an Easter bunny. A float with a drunk Irishman clutching a pot of gold. A float with a turkey getting a pardon from Obama.
You get the point.
The good people of Tulsa want their Christmas parade.. It is, after all, a parade celebrating Christmas, not one or more of the other many holidays. but some deskbound zit - who has issues with the idea - wants to change the name. Change the zit.

fight this Okies..fight it..fight it I'm a pagan and I think this is wrong..just because thousands of years ago Christians stole our holiday and made it the birth of Christ..doesn't make it less of Christmas..fight it.
I'll bet said zit has a mullet, Coke-bottle glasses and aneffeminate voice. Probably a tie-dye shirt somewhere in the attic left over from the Berkley '68 burn-out days, too. Isn't it about time these fkn multicultural/egalitarian, enLIEtened atheist dopers started extending some "tolerance" to the people paying their salaries?
BTW, the ACLU (Atheist, Communist & Leftist Union) will get pissed if I wish you anything but a Merry RamaHanukKwanzmas!
Well Granny, the name may have been changed, but an awful lot of those pagan traditions of the season survive virtually unchanged. The holly and the ivy, the "Christmas" tree itself, the caroling, even Santa Claus himself is recognizable as a bastardized form of a pre-Christian tradition.
So, yes. They're trying to ruin your holiday too.
