"This is where you lose me. Why should Christians be offended to hear "Happy Holidays?""

You are missing the reason for Christians being offended. I am NOT offended to hear Happy Holidays from anyone. As I stated earlier, I am offended when anti's call up Stores and demand that Marry Christmas be removed form their Stores!

Why do I get offended when the Store removes Merry Christmas from their Stores, allow me to try and explain my position:

Do you understand that "Christ" is a name included in the phrase "Merry Christmas" and to exclude Christmas, to most Christians, it is the same as excluding Jesus Christs very name which is extremely offensive to most Christians.

Again, I am not offended to hear any kind of greeting. I do not want greetings forced upon me through Stores, and then expect me to shop at them.

I'm still at a loss to understand how buying material things for other people who you barely see all year celebrates the birth of Christ. Personally, I'll be celebrating that at my local Church, not Wal-Mart.

I agree with this. But your original post to me said this:

The anti Christian people are the ones that started this "xmas" and "happy holiday" as a slap in the face of every Christian!

We've dealt with Xmas. And here, you seem to be saying that anyone who says "happy holiday" is a slap in the face of every Christian. When you say that the people who started saying "Happy Holidays" are specifically anti-Christian, sorry if that seems extremely paranoid to me. If you had just mentioned that your ONLY problem with the Happy Holidays thing was that people were forced to say it, then I never would have posted back to you.

So now what are you saying? You just said you aren't offended to hear Happy Holidays from anyone. Now you're saying that excluding Christ or not saying Merry Christmas is extremely offensive to most Christians.
