Time for a more sensible topic..
I know some people get offended when I say "Merry Christmas" and they get pissy and tell me to say "Happy Holidays" instead because they're Jewish, not Catholic. I find it pretty annoying, but nonetheless, I still respect their religious views. Do you say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays"? |

@ the people who get offended by Merry Christmas. Go f**k yourselves. It's our country, and it's a national holiday. We're not trying to convert you. We're not trying to say our religion is better. We're celebrating our holiday in our country.
That being said, I say Merry Christmas. |

Lowes changed their Christmas Trees to Holiday Trees. People got pissed. They made a public apology and changed it back to Christmas. gg

I say both. If someone says Merry Christmas to me first, I'll say it right back. It's not a big deal that I don't celebrate it.

I'm usually never put in the position where I say this, hah. If I go somewhere and they say Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas I usually just say you too. I suppose I'd probably say Happy Holidays, since it would cover New Years, too.

I never say anything. A lot of people don't even deserve to hear it.
I remember last year, my local airport was put on blast for having up Christmas trees. I guess all it took was one stupid jewish person to ruin it. |

I don't believe in any religion; but I still say 'Merry Christmas' out of a sense of tradition I suppose.
And I refuse to pander to those politically correct lobbyists. |

Well nsync sang 'Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays'.
I actually like using the term happy holidays, not 'cause i'm super liberal, but because i think it just sounds better. -shrug-. |

It isn't like Christmas is actually, in its roots, a Christian celebration anyways. f**k all.
There is a home in my "neighborhood" that has enormous lights up which read, "Happy Birthday Jesus." It's kind of hard to get offended when I think someone is so pathetically idiotic. |

If someone seriously got offended by me saying "Merry Christmas" especially without having any idea what their background is, I'd just laugh. It's hilarious the stupid little things people get pissed off about these days. This shouldn't even be an issue. I mean, seriously. If people put the energy they waste worrying about stupid issues like this and use it on, say, world peace, there's no telling how much better off we would be.
That being said: MERRY CHRISTMAS! |
