I will never say happy Holidays again in my lifetime unless it’s to someone I know to Jewish or maybe some other religion.

Period.

The older I get the less appreciation I have for diversity.

I ALWAYS say Merry Christmas . . . I’m a Christian . . . if they say Happy Hannukah, I say thank you, and I mean it. Very simple and respectful, I think. But I ALWAY SAY “MERRY CHRISTMAS!”

I never say Happy Holidays. This is a Christian holiday and I say Merry Christmas to any and everyone. I have yet to find a Jewish friend who is offended by this, just as I'm not offended when they say Happy Hanuka to me. This political correctness is out of hand. If someone is so thinned-skinned that they are offended by a season's greeting, then they don't deserve my greeting in the first place.

If you figure out exactly what diversity is please let me know. Does it celebrate differences or minimize them? How do we achieve unity with diversity?

FWIW I'll cast my Jewish vote for "Merry Christmas".

1) Being sincere about your religion is nothing to feel bad about

2) Anyone petty enough to be offended by that is probably somebody you don't want to be around anyway.

3) "Happy Holidays" is completely half-assed.
