[quote=Anonymous]If we are to be such a tolerant society nowadays, why are some Christians worried about offending others with their faith around the  "holidays?" Isn't the origination of CHRISTmas about CHRIST? Certainly, if you are of a different faith, then take on as many of the secular traditions (aka Santa, etc) as you want and celebrate those, but I don't understand people who would get offended at getting a Christmas card that says*gasp* 'Merry Christmas' or 'Born in a Manger' or some other religious sentiment. Christmas in the US is about celebrating Jesus' birth--whether that is what YOU believe and celebrate or not. Just because we have become a society that perpetuates Santa, presents and shopping as the basis of this celebration doesn't mean that the original meaning behind the holiday is irrelevant. Thus, please don't get upset when there are people out there who choose to actually voice their beliefs, in the form of a "Merry Christmas" or 'religious' Christmas card. [/quote]
