Fixed it for you.
Wishing the world a blessed and peaceful Christmas!
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?
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.
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.

I live in Georgia. Several of my Jewish friends wish me a Merry Christmas, and I say Happy Hannukah to them. When I don't know a person's faith, I say Happy Holidays!
I’m with you, Georgia. Just a quick correction, Georgia and PP, it’s spelled Hanukkah. Merry Everything to you and yours!

Yes it will be considered antisemitic and therefore against the law. Didn’t congress just pass a law that would outlaw this?

The cups at Starbucks are okay this year. They called the war off. For now.

No, she is not a Republican. Yes, she loves taking advantage of their love for Trump and milking them of their money.
Do you even realize how you're describing your family member with your comment?

Things are getting rough out there with the two-front War on Christmas and the War on Women. Are we up to the task? Time will tell.

All, for the olden days of the colonies when Puritans could indeed be arrested for observing Christmas. Unless it happened to be on a Sunday and they were in church anyway. They already knew Christmas celebrations were pagan observances handed down from German traditions dressed up with Catholic Christian veneer.

Our Jewish neighbors have a blow up of a bearded Hanukkah Harry on their front lawn. They wanted to be as tacky as everyone else on the cul-de-sac. Thank G-d that we have a tasteful display of twinkling clear lights on our well manicured shrubbery.
