Marry Christmas or Happy Holiday?

[BaseRSX]

Well the hardcore Christians have waged war over this in America this year. They want to â??put Christ back in Christmasâ?�. Personally I have always said â??Happy Holidayâ?�. I think its better because there are at least 5 different holidays together in about a monthâ??s time â?? Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Years, and Kwanzaa. Also I think itâ??s rude to assume someone is Christian and is celebrating Christmas.

What do you think?

I'm no big Christian type but when the department stores that line their pockets with my CHRISTMAS money should have no gripe on a store attendant saying "Merry Christman" or "Happy Holidays". :twocents:

I don't celebrate Christmas (Christ mass) or holidays (holy days), being an atheist. They are equally offensive to my worldview.

That is definately your choice and it's nice to see someone hold to their convictions but do you feel offended if a store clerk says that during holiday seasons or do you just blow it off?

Do you, BaseRSX, take Christmas to be your lawfully wedded wife, to live together in the holy state of matrimony?

Thatâ??s the point. New Years is a non religious Holiday. I thought everyone celebrates at least bring in the New Year... Thatâ??s why I say Happy Holiday.

I think it's a fair term to use in a mainly Christian country and I don't think it really offends anyone. People just like to make a fuss over nothing.

Of course I'm not offended. I live in a deeply religious country and I can't get offended every time anybody expresses their religiosity, or assumes that I'm religious. I'll usually just smile and say thanks. No need to get into heated debates with strangers or hold pointless grudges against them.
