If you are correct, wouldn't she have said Christmas party, and then said something like, "...or are we to apologize for saying Christmas now?" How do you rebel against something by actually towing the line? If she does think the PC stuff has gone too far, her employer has her afraid to go against the PC crowd that wants to eliminate references to Christmas.
I think you think too much. I also think you are spoiling for a fight where none exists. Sorry, nothing to see here. Move along.
Wow... really?
All this feigned outrage over a single word?
She can talk as much smack about Christmas (although I don't believe she was) as she wants... there is still free speech in the country, right? As for the public funds, I'm considered public too, right? I just donated $50 to NPR

She'da been taking sides if she'da followed your suggestion.

Have it your way. This is a major issue that shakes the very foundations of Christianity. You're under a relentless attack from howling agnostic hordes. How can Christians ever find the strength to endure this shocking torment and persecution?

I don't know. Go ask Juan Williams about Free Speech at NPR.
Another reason for outrage in the link below: BBC News - UAE hotel boasts 'most expensive Christmas tree'
A muslim country has the guts to install a $11 million Christmas tree in a hotel. Don't they know they are
(a) muslims, and therefore
(b) not allowed to install a more expensive tree than the Vatican does?
Are they tryng to diss a minority of the chrisitians (who are apparently quite sensitive) here?
NPR has been doing shows on Christmas recipes, Christmas stories, Christmas travel tips, Christmas gift giving trends, etc. So what this reporter said has been taken out of context and/or misconstrued. The right wing nutjobs do not have anything else to whine about at the moment, so they rolled out the WMD's of their delusional war on Christmas.
