In honor of a decision last year to change Valentine's Day to Friendship Celebration Day (because Valentine's Day is named after Saint Valentine and anyone who hears a religious name may become infected with God) by a DePere, Wisconsin, school district, we thought we'd help Christiaphobics rename a few more items that have religious implications, to make them politically correct.

Saint Patrick's Day (named for the Patron Saint of Ireland)--As we can't call it Lucky Leprechaun Day because that may offend some short people who are neither lucky nor affiliated with Leprechauns, and as the politically correct would be against alcohol usage being associated with Irishmen (okay, Irish people), which rules out "Irish Pub Day," and as the only thing the politically correct really seem to like about the day is all the green color that goes with it, we'll change the holiday to "Bring a Shrub to Work Day."

Angel food cake (a cake so light and fluffy that it's fit for angels)--There's already a devil's food cake, and so we can't use that. So we'll call it kook cake (appropriate because in Christiaphobes' eyes, the only crazies in the world, believers in astrology notwithstanding, are people who believe in angels).

San Jose (a California city named after Saint Joseph)--Because the United States obviously stole this land from the Spanish who stole it from the natives (the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and all the money that America paid for the land being obviously nothing like the noble Louisiana Purchase), the name should be changed to Mexicus Correctus--or just plain Mexico.

Santa Claus (a dialectic version of Saint Nicholas)--Keeping in mind that it would be politically incorrect to call him The Fat Guy in the Red Suit, he will be called The Gift Guy (or Gift Woman or Gift Person or, so as not to offend animals or other sentient creatures, Gift Giver).

Christmas (the celebration of Christ's birthday)--This will obviously be changed to The Holiday of Pine Trees. (Coincidentally, this is what the Soviets renamed the holiday in the Christian countries that they occupied after World War II to erase religion from those countries.)

Santa Ana (a hot desert wind named after Saint Anne)--Reflecting the animosity that the majority of the politically correct have ...
