		<description>LOL....Claire being a Christian isn't the issue here. Are you really a Christian? Can you tell me where the holiday of Christmas even originated from? It is a pagan holiday that was changed "adopted" by Christians. It isn't a religious holiday. If you are REALLY a Christian, you shouldn't be celebrating a holiday like Christmas AT ALL, but that is another story.

Tonia lost her job for refusing to do what her employer needed. I hope she has found a new job where she can say whatever she wants because I'm sure that whatever god she believes in wants her to support her child and not become a burden to taxpayers.</description>

		<description>I totally agree with Tonia Thomas, because I'm also a born again Christian. Right on girl you keep doing what you're doing! Don't worry about what other people think! I totally agree with you!</description>

		<description>I'm sure that there is more to this story. The whole thing is stupid. I think that there are so many more important things that a woman in her situation could be doing. It will be interesting to see how this situation plays out.</description>

		<description>Well the funny thing is here, that she wasnt as "holy" as she said she was. She had only been going to church for like four months (in like 6yrs) before this happen &#38; the only reason why she started going was because her husband was sleeping around with someone in the church &#38; she want to call the girl out infront of everyone. What it ended up coming to was, she took advantage of the ppl at her work who put up  with all her crap &#38; games, an then just got to big for her own pants &#38; thought she could do just about anything she wanted. To her this is just a scheme for some fast money. Mainly everything being told about this are lies. 
She even went as far as asking her friends to lie for her  "which to me is just sad"
I just feel bad for her son, hes got a mother who doesnt know where the truth ends &#38; the lies began.
And a father that shows his son that its ok to cheat &#38; treat women like throw aways toys just as long as u said "I'm sorry &#38; I'll try to never do it again"!
Hints "10yrs later &#38; hes doing it again".</description>

		<description>Welcome to Very Stupid Things Anthony. You may call it standing up for yourself. I call it doing what your employer needs you to do. We are all adults and there are times when we have to use common sense in our everyday lives. When your employer asks you to say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas, you do it if you value your job. To bring the point even closer home, if you knew the history of Christmas you would know that it IS NOT the birthday of Christ, but that's another story. Do some research on the holiday. 

Your wife had a job to do and she decided that she wasn't going to do it the way her employer wanted her to. I bet this isn't the first time that your wife has been asked to do something by her employer that she decided she wasn't going to do. If your wife only wants to celebrate one holiday and doesn't want to say what the company wants her to say, that's fine. Now she can say whatever she wants at home or at her new job. Personally, I think your wife was insubordinate, should have been fired and likely has had problems at her jobs before. I might be wrong, but I bet I'm right. 

This nation is made up of many different people who believe different things. Do you tell your child/children that there is a Santa Claus? Do you put up Christmas lights? Do you know the history behind any of those things? There are some people that believe and some people that don't. Your wife's former employer didn't ask her to stop believing in Christmas or to celebrate another day. They asked her to simply say Happy Holidays. If that was to much to ask, then what happened to her is exactly what should have happened to her.

And you are correct. Depending on the country, I might be censored. That's why I live in the USA – just so I can say whatever the hell I want to say about people who lose their jobs because they won't do something simple that their employers ask.</description>

		<description>Well it is a good thing for you this is America because you would be censored in other countries.  I am the husband of Tonia and Sabrina had it exactly right when she said there may have been other things going on that stopped her from say "Happy Holidays".  It's called standing up for what you believe in and in her case, as well as mine, she believes in saying "Merry Christmas" because that is the holiday that is being celebrated and saying anything else is a compromise of faith.  The last I checked this nation only has a holiday that recognizes one day....Christmas.  Hope you had a merry one!!!</description>
