Scott Norvell notes that the PC attack against anything Christmas is in full swing:

The mayor of Somerville, Mass. has to issue a written apology for daring to refer to the city's upcoming celebration as a "Christmas party," reports the Somerville Journal.

Mayor Joe Curtatone's apology statement said, "A press release issued from my office last week mistakenly identified this month's City Holiday Party as a 'Christmas Party.' I apologize for the mistake and to anyone who was offended by it. On Dec. 21, City Hall will welcome the entire community to a party honouring all holiday traditions and celebrating this most festive of seasons."
