bkellner Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 It depends on who I am talking to, but generally if I'm speaking to a large group of people I would say Merry Christmas. It's not a matter of respecting other peoples holidays - it's a matter of respecting mine. I say Merry Christmas, they say whatever they want. It's fair that way, and no one should complain.

P!P Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I wish everyone would just say Merry Christmas. I don't think you'll offend anyone, and if you do I get the feeling that get offended often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Socling Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Merry Christmas here for me in the USA. Everyone has their right to say/believe what they want, this is mine. On a side note... I chose not to shop for ANY Christmas presents at my local Wal-Mart store. They forbid all employees to say "Merry Christmas" at the risk of losing their job. Boy, would I like to get fired from Wal-Mart (if I worked there) for saying "Merry Christmas" to someone. That would open up a BIG can of worms. P.S. Let's not forget the REAL reason we celebrate Christmas (those of us who celebrate it). I celebrate Christmas for the presents, and spending time with family. Thats the real reason, right? :shifty: That said, I don't think WalMart should specifically forbid their employees from saying Merry Christmas, unless they specifically forbid any type of religious display in any sense or manner. No As-salaam alaykum, no Gut Yontiff, nothing. Not that I really care, simply because if you are going to discriminate, don't hold back. Now, if they wanted me to give a secret Klan handshake to get in...that I'd have a problem with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaLiVa Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 In Malaysia they use "Seasons Greetings". I have no idea what that means, but it's less offensive in a Muslim-Majority area. Any clue what Seasons Greetings is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDog Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Merry Christmas but obviously I have friends of other faiths, or of no faith, who wouldn't be bothered by it though I would prolly just say Happy Holidays to. I don't see it as overly important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yisman Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I generally say nothing, and if the other person says "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" or something else, I return the greeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
