[quote=Anonymous][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. [/b]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. [b][/quote]

You know that this doesn't actually happen in real life, right?  It only happens on Planet War On Christmas.[/quote]
