Bah, humbug!

A passenger was tossed off a plane at La Guardia Airport on Tuesday after flipping out — because airline workers wished him a merry Christmas.

The man was waiting to board American Airlines Flight 1140 to Dallas when a cheerful gate agent began welcoming everyone with the Yuletide greeting while checking boarding passes.

The grumpy passenger, who appeared to be traveling alone, barked at the woman, “You shouldn’t say that because not everyone celebrates Christmas.” ...

Christmas is the biggest day of the year for atheists. Wonder why?

Merry Christmas

“Christonormativity”, according to one aggrieved HuffPo contributor, makes her feel oppressed this time of year.

For a humorous view of Christmas from a Jewish perspective, Joel Kopischiske’s “That’s a Menorah” on youtube is a real hoot.

They should have waited until they were at 30,000 ft to toss him off. I’d bet he’d learn how to pray then.

I had an Arab stop me to ask about personal business. He wished me a Merry Christmas, and I returned with the same. I know of some who own and read Bibles.

I have no time for these kind of idiots. It’s Christmas and whether you celebrate it or not you can still go along with it in this Christian country though bozo and his commie pals are trying to change.

I'm with you. If someone complains about being wished a Merry Christmas, the proper response is: "So have a miserable Christmas then."

Lowe’s got taken to the PC woodshed a few years back when they had signs and banners that said Seasons Greetings and Feliz Navidad. It was preposterous that they could say Merry Christmas in Spanish but not in English. There was a boycott campaign and now they bend over backwards to say and display Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to all but that passenger, now get your sorry ass on the plane, sit down and shut up.

My Sikh buddy said “You are merely wishing me love and good fortune which I gladly accept.” when I wished him Merry Christmas.What a refreshingly decent sentiment.
