Are you consistent with this practice for every holiday? Do you try to ascertain, say, someone's political persuasion before figuring out what to say on MLK day? Do you just say "happy Holiday" to your atheist friends at Thanksgiving, since they have no one to thank?
I'm not Jewish, but I have never been offended by anyone wishing me a Happy Hannuka. I don't have to share someone else's religious beliefs to feel good about them wishing me happiness, whatever the occasion. Courtesy is one thing; political correctness run amok is another.
Ooooh, how DARE you show respect and consideration for others! You're being PC! /mocking_reactionary_anti_PC_crowd_on_FR
Not true. I know several who do. Jerry Lewis had massive Christmas parties.
Jewish people don't celebrate Christmas....>>
All americans celebrate christmas, it's an official federal us holiday like Independence day and Thanksgiving day.
And your point is? Ninety percent of Americans celebrate Christmas - - and for the word to be censored out of the common vocabulary, by stores (which are catering to Christmas shoppers whether they admit it or not) and party-goes (whose parties are timed to precede Christmas), is OUTRAGEOUS, and I'm sick and tired of it. This is censorship --- and it's as bad as in Saudi Arabia. If you went there, they wouldn't mention Christmas either.
