I'm a Christian. The less people associate the holiday celebrations with true Christianity, the better. Trees, the month of December, Santa, snow, parties, etc. have nothing to do with Christ at all.

I agree.

The rest of us will sit back and call it "Holidays", because that is what it is.
Stop being a windbag.

You just proved what I was saying, we cater to the Minority in this country. Thanks.

How is it the Minority? Even your faux news (esp bill oreally) did a poll of their own right wing nuts and the majority of them said it was a none issue.

Exactly, the minority are the windbags who are upset they can't force people to use the Christian apellation. Many people do not celebrate it as a religious holiday, others celebrate a different religious holiday, and many more are just the polite Christians.

Some might just see the sense of calling the 2 month long season of consecutive major holidays(Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years) and don't want to buy a new fucking dormat for each one.

I'm cursey this morning.

WE LIVE IN AMERICA, IT'S CALLED CELEBRATE WHAT YOU WANT.

Fixed. Just because you celebrate christmas doesn't mean everyone else does. Open your eyes.

I knew someone would say this. Once again, this goes back to the stupid politically correct thing.

If I lived in some country where everyone celebrated Kwanza or something, and the commercials said Kwanza, I wouldn't give a rat's ass.

The change has NOTHING to do w/ the CELEBRATE WHAT YOU WANT, it's the stupid 'let's be politically correct'. It's a tradition that sadly is gone now.

No you are still free to celebrate christmas and say merry christmas. You just can't force others to say what you want them too.

Obviously they WANT to CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS, because that is what they are freaking saying.
 
I think Christians in general should really try to be less self-righteous. That's what Christ himself would do.

Quintox, I mean you.

Bullshit. "Happy Holidays" long predates any concept of political correctness. The only folks hooked on political correctness are reactionaries trying to stoke tribalism.

I believe you missed the fact that it's mostly a MARKETING thing done by CORPORATE AMERICA in order to include non-christmas-celebrators in their customer base so as to increase sales.

Mosh said it best in the simplest terms. We are catering to the minority. In these days everyone is too worried about offending someone else and getting sued. What I'd like to know is if someone who doesn't celebrate Christmas, when they came to America anytime in the past 50 years and saw 'Christmas' written everywhere, were they just so offended that they couldn't handle it?

So according to this Holiday rule, whites should now only be called Caucasian, blacks now African-American, and Asians...... well.....Asian ( 🙂 )

I think some people should re-read the OP again. That's what most people would do before making a stupid comment like this.

Or you could just wish people a Merry Christmas or whatever greeting you like and quit being such a whiner.

Because it's yet another US tradition that got slashed due to PC world today.

(Don't ask me what other 'tradition' got slashed because I don't have an answer yet)

Pinching asses in the work place.
 
"Happy Holidays" is better on the ears than "Merry Christmas" due to the use of alliterations...

But yes, Christmas > Holiday.

As the rest of the thread demonstrates, you and mosh are the minority and we won't cater to you. But here's a beer :beer:

I am not religious for the record but I think this politically correct crap is idiotic and ridiculous. I am sad to see that commercials, TV, etc are still using the term 'Holiday' from last year.

Anyone else agree this is stupid?

I agree with you, and so does the majority of the population, but we cater to the minority in this country.

Hey Mosh, Merry Christmas!

<waits>

<waits>

Well, the police didn't come arrest me or fine me. Looks like everyone is still free to call it whatever they want. Nobody is being forced to change.

What was the problem again? 😕

No, I think it's stupid to believe in fairy tales and unbelievably stupid to expect other people to believe in those fairy tales too.

 
I tend to respond to people who wish me a merry christmas by punching them in the lip.

Quit assuming that just because you worship the birthday of your dead jewish guy, that the everyone else has to as well.
 
Why do you care what the fuck other people are calling it? If its Christmas to you then celebrate Christmas and stop whining. I'm sick of hearing people giving a shit about how other people celebrate holidays.

Really? The majority posting in this thread are saying otherwise. Do you have some stats backing up your claims? Where are you getting this info from?
 
omg, i never realized people like mosh and quintox were so persecuted. is there a charity or something i can donate to to help these people with their hardships?
