I ALWAYS say Merry Christmas and never Happy Holidays. If it weren't for Christ, there wouldn't be Christmas. Not very hard to understand.

One sure way to upset many of your liberal friends is to send them religious-themed Christmas cards.

I have no problem using the term "Happy Holidays," since I work in an environment where there are a number of non-Christians. There is nothing more idiotic, however, than the use of the term "Xmas" -- either it's Christmas, or it's not.

Actually, there IS something more idiotic . . . it's the bizarre use of the phrase "Turkey Day" instead of "Thanksgiving" -- as if we're engaging in some kind of pagan worship of a freakin' bird.

The weird thing is that my Jewish boss uses the term "Christmas" all the time when discussing holiday preparations for the company, sending greeting cards to clients, etc. LOL.

Marry Christmas?!? You can't marry Christmas! Marriage is between one man and one woman and always will be!

...oh...."merry". Well, that's different. Never mind.

merry christmas.

If someone gets offended, how about, "Happy Hellfire"? Or would that be rude and insensitive?

I don't 'celebrate' Christmas in that I don't believe it to be Christ's birthday. But since that is the day that it is observed, I resent the Godless leftists trying to remove any any vestige of God, Jesus, or religion from that day and our daily lives, for that matter. I make it a point to correct people that use generic terms and tell them that Christ is the reason for the season. Most people appreciate it and tell me that it's company policy designed not to offend.

If you go to a non-Christian nation, they don't remove signs of their religious heritage and observations and neither should we. Those coming to visit or live (or our own non-Christian citizens) are free to practice or not, as they choose. But we should be free to practice, worship, and believe without persecution or fear of offending. I don't care if they are offended. Especially those that react like a vampire seeing a cross.
