I had forgotten about that....somewhere at home I have a Christmas card that had been sent to me by a Muslim.

I think that is outrageously ethnocentric, sorry.

Should you add automatically speaking in English to other people without first checking their language skills to the list of grievances?

The problem for the lady who told Mike that she preferred a “happy holidays” greeting is that those who are celebrating the Christmas season are tired of being told that they can’t say “Merry Christmas.” It would be as if you lived in a highly PC Israel, and felt pressured to say only “happy holidays” during the Jewish holidays which overlap with the holidays of other religions for fear of offending the minority Christian or Muslim population. For example, what if you felt PC social pressure not to say “chag Pesach sameach,” just “chag sameach” since Easter might be occurring at the same time?

No grounds for this kind of complaining.

Merry Christmas to you and to yours.

I’ll also wish you a Happy Hannukah.

If you get offended by my sentiments for your happiness then that is your misfortune.

Christmas is the holiday. Hannucka is a minor holiday elevated up so jewish kids don’t feel left out. Kwanza is made up.
And the Buddhists and Hindus don’t have to play, or can go home and enjoy all the blessings of China and India.

So Merry Christmas.

You sound like a Christmas snowflake to me. It is the Christmas season. It is perfectly normal for people to say "Merry Christmas". Even if you find it offensive, you can take the Christmas wishes in the spirit they are offered. I have Jewish friends who send me Christmas cards and wish me "Merry Christmas". You sound like so many of the leftists who ruin everything for everybody else by being offended over such minor stuff.

For a good non-Christian take on this, you may want to read DENNIS PRAGER ON SAYING "MERRY CHRISTMAS".

If someone says Merry Christmas to me, I say Merry Christmas back.

If someone says have a good year to me on Rosh Hashanah, I say thank you and same to you.

If someone says Happy Festivus to me, I say Happy Festivus to you.

If someone says Allahu Akbar to me, I try to get out of the blast radius as quickly as possible.

This thread is entertaining, but I never thought I would see the day on here with a post like that.

One would think that after all these replies one would just shut up and stop being offended over nothing.

I have had Jews celebrate Christmas with me. I have had people wish me other holidays which were not mine, and I smile and say same to you.
I;m not offended, except by little snowflakes.

In essence, I am offended by you being offended.

When somebody greets me in a way that they find preferable and I do not, I simply say “thank you” because I’m not a jerk.

Ever notice how Christians don’t screw around and try to ruin it when Jewish communities celebrate Yom Kippur or Passover?
You should try doing that for Christmas.

I want to be on the air to say some important things like, “Why hasn’t the media covered the HUGE cost overruns on the Air Force One planes while Obama is President?”

The people who yelled that you “killed J.C.” obviously don’t have a clear grasp of time.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Holidays like New Years and Hanukkah are in close proximity but at this time of the “holidays” it’s a celebration of Christs’ birth not the birth of a holiday......once again MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

The airing of grievances has begun early this year. I am now preparing for the feats of strength. :)

“My parents raised me to take such greetings as a compliment because people were being kind enough to say such nice things.”

Exactly. You mean you weren’t taught that they were culturally insensitive?

Correct me if I am wrong, but E, this time of year *is* approaching Christmas. Christians have been muzzled in recent years in the USA of all places and we’re sick of it.

Our country has deeply Christian religious Tradition, founded by Christians. WE were raised hearing “sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will never hurt me”.

Forget about it.

Remember when Glenn Beck was somewhat fun with his “Have a ramahanakwanzmas”?

Or his Christmas songs made spooky?
