MERRY CHRISTMAS!
But we can’t hurt the mussies feelings now, can we?
I’m hearing it a lot more this year and in many cases it is bold and sincere.
I don’t care what the majority of Americans prefer.
I’m bombing every one I see with a hearty “Merry Christmas!” in response to “happy holidays” and I’m getting startled hearty “Merry Christmas!” responses as if those responding are at that moment slipping the bonds of political correctness.
Loving it. Merry Christmas!
It’s always been this way, but the vendors and business owners take the easy way out, so as not to ‘offend’ anyone.
They don’t care, the businesses just want to sell their goods and services without any distraction of labels and semantics.
Holiday = Holy = Religious, So How knows?
Yes! It’s all about Christ.....Christ....mas
Happy holidays=bah humbug
This year, where we live now, and with Christmas and Chanukah on top of each other, in public I am wishing everyone “merry Christmas and happy Chanukah!” I now am living in the most non orthodox Jewish community in Los Angeles. Saying merry Christmas alone doesn’t do it here. But I get that merry Christmas in!
Before political correctness stuck its thumb into this, everyone said “Merry Christmas” happily, including atheists. For Christians, and especially Catholics, it was the Feast of Christ’s birth. For everyone else, it was Christmas trees, presents, Santa, and his reindeer. And even for atheists it was a happy holiday, with love, forgiveness, and coming together to celebrate.
“Happy holidays”? What does that mean? A couple of extra days off from work?
I have no problem with the use of happy holidays to cover the entire holiday time frame to include Christmas and new years. But the term shouldn’t be a replacement for either one independently. If you mean one or the other, say it.

Personally I will say Merry Christmas, regardless of the majority.
But if one Muslim is offended, the rest of us must submit.
God bless us, everyone..
In the last few days I have heard Merry Christmas more times than the last 10 years added together. Isn’t it funny that all it too was 1 brave man who doesn’t care about politically correct to give people the courage to stan up against the bullies
Merry Christmas, Y’all. And, for the Freep Libertarians, I wish you pleasant days, good eating, and not having a need to take down Christmas decorations.
I got a kick out of a Coke bottle a few years ago. It had both Happy Holidays and Feliz Navidad on it. I guess Spanish speakers wouldn’t freak out at the mention of Christmas, while Anglos had to be protected from it.
They are coming to realize that Happy Holidays and Seasons Greatings are ways to suppress the Merry Christmas greeting, much like the Merry Xmas was meant to do.
