The people who IMAGINE there is a war on Christmas have been occupied on other imaginary wars of late.

Fixed it for you.[/quote]

Wishing the world a blessed and peaceful  Christmas![/quote]

That's one of them.  Or do you go around pretending there's only one winter holiday?  It's wrong to include New Years and say Happy Holidays?  Do you tell Jews "Merry Christmas" knowing full well they instead observe Hannukah?   [/quote]

This is fake outrage. Wishing someone a Merry Christmas is as innocuous as wishing someone Happy Thanksgiving or Happy Labor Day because it’s become a secular, consumerist holiday that’s more about presents, lit up trees, and Santa than the birth of Jesus.

It’s why it’s dumb to get offended about people saying Merry Christmas as it is for people to get offended for saying Happy Holidays. Christians, unlike other religions, have allowed all of their major holidays to get subverted by capitalism. Imagine if Muslims made Ramadan about a bunny or if Jews mad Hanukkah about a guy with a beard and reindeer. Only Christians are this weak. [/quote]

But there are a number of folks in every community who do not celebrate Christmas - no tree, no gifts, no lights, no nothing - as they have their own EOY observances. It’s just kind to say “Happy Holidays.” Wish “Merry Christmas” to all you know who ACTUALLY celebrate. Then “Happy Holidays” for all others.[/quote]

Not my FIL he goes out of his way to say Merry Christmas. It’s really aggressive. Like a secrete hand shake.[/quote]

And there are those weirdos who give a dirty look if you tell them "Happy Holidays" - guess not so happy for you if you can't take having someone give you an innocuous friendly greeting.  Last weekend I was in a Harley Davidson dealership buying a relative a gift and during the course of routine friendly small talk I told the cashier "Happy Holidays" as I was picking up my purchase to leave and he suddenly shot me a dirty look.  I feel sorry for the people who have been so spun up and brainwashed in culture war BS that they take offense if you say anything other than "Merry Christmas."  [/quote]

The real question is why anyone would say "Happy Holidays" in the first place? [/quote]

Because it is inclusive and everybody needs to be more inclusive; not less inclusive.

Are you against inclusion or something? [/quote]

Its been pretty clearly stated that no one is offended by Merry Christmas, but is by Happy Holidays. So Merry Christmas is therefore more inclusive. [/quote]
