Is it that offensive to be as inclusive as possible during the holiday season?

When that holiday season is centered around Christmas, when that holiday season is the one that puts most retailers in the black financially, when, dammit, it's been our Christmas for centuries...it is not too much to expect them to acknowledge the reason for the season financial success they undergo from Nov. to the end of December.

Channukah has been around for less time? And many of the Christmas symbols originate from the Pagan religion which has been around longer too. But really, who cares whose been around in the past. Right now, there are people in our country with diverse beliefs - I don't see that any of them inherently deserve any less courtesy than Christians. If you are a business, doesn't it make sense to want to include all of your customers in wishing them well for the holiday season? And I'll say it again - aren't we the site that takes Liberals to task for taking offense where none is intended? Is it so wrong for a store or a person to want to include good tidings for all people, not just Christians?
