RichCI Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Say "Merry Christmas" to those who you know celebrate Christmas and say "Happy Holidays" when you don't know. Merry Christmas to you too, dem00n! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Merry Christmas because we live in a Christian( or Catholic whichever one) based society, and while not Christian myself, I find that it is our society. That's why the pledge of allegiance says 'under God'. If I wanted to be politically correct, I wouldn't live in the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I say "Merry Christmas" but there's nothing wrong with saying Happy Holidays. Before folks started using Happy Holidays as a Politically Correct version of Merry Christmas, I thought it meant, "Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Christmas/Hanukah, and New Years." Basically, "I hope the end of the year goes well for you, as we are all brethren on the same trip to the grave." If Merry Christmas means, "Only people who follow my religious beliefs should have a nice holiday season," then I feel you've missed the Spirit of the Season, and you should read some Dickens (don't just watch one, read it).

Mr. Robot Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I voted for Merry Christmas, but it doesnt matter which one you use, as long as you dont judge others by their choice and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I call it Christmas no matter who I'm talking to. Not that I really care about Christ or Christianity as such, but that's what it is called and what it's been meant to celebrate since whenever the christians made it to this country and replaced the old heathen holidays with theirs. But mostly I do it because not once have I heard a muslim or jew or what have you in this country refer to any of their holidays with a generic term not to offend anyone. So why should we roll over?

swleary Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I say Merry Christmas because that's what I grew up with. On the other hand, you can all say.....Happy guitar day....because I'm sure some gear is on everyone's list lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilliangirl Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I say Merry Christmas. We have a lot of multiculturalism here in Calgary too but I celebrate Christmas, so I'm saying Merry Christmas. If someone said 'Happy Islamic holiday' or something similar to me, I'd say the same back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I say Merry Christmas because "Happy Holidays" just seems too wimpy. I mean, I celebrate Christmas, but I would not be offended if someone told me "Happy Hanukkah" or "Happy Kwanzaa" or anything else. I'd just smile and say thank you. In Florida we are basically just celebrating the fact that it is not blisteringly hot anyway. :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Three kids got sent to see the principal's office for bad behavior. As they were sitting in the waiting room one kid asks the other "what did you do?" The kid responds "I said $*!@ in class." So the other kid asks "what did you do?" The first kid responded "I said f&*@ in class." The third kid says "well, I said something much worse than the both of you....I said Merry Christmas in class!!"
