Quote this comment #6.3 Posted by Hurmoth on 24 Dec 2004 - 19:51
Because Christmas isn't the only Holiday celebrated around this time of the year. Not everyone celebrates Christmas, just in case you'll didn't know

December the 24th, happy holidays, GEE, I wonder what that could refer to??

Give me a break, you can say happy holidays and be politically correct, but everybody would know exactly what it was talking about.

It's Christmas. Merry Christmas.

Agreed. If you run a store and put up signs at the beginning of December, sure, Happy Holidays is fine. On Christmas Eve, wishing everyone Happy Holidays is just PC run-amok.

What's up with Happy Holidays on Christmas Eve? It's Christmas, this is P.C. gone too far. I'm Muslim and I don't mind no Merry Christmas. It's a Christian holiday and deserves to retain its identity. And for those who celebrate it, Merry Christmas you guys (and gals)!!!

Quote this comment #6.13 Posted by King Rilian on 27 Dec 2004 - 13:07
This whole tolerance crap ticks me off all the time. It's been Christmas for years and years and years and years, and will continue to be, no matter what label people want to put on it. Those who are "offended" at that can stop whining like 5 year olds and get over it. It's not racist, it's not sexist, it's not hateful, so what is the problem? It's because they hate the name of Christ -- at least, that's what I believe.

And if the government wants me to not say "Christmas," then they need to not take it off as a holiday. I mean, give me a break.
