Yeah, it’s a short walk past the religious/birth of Christ thing before you get into what was spawned by the story of St Nicholas. [http://www.stnicholascenter.org/Brix?pageID=38](http://www.stnicholascenter.org/Brix?pageID=38) Happy Holidays Walter! :tup: To each his own, and the oppression of that is what I’m bitching about. I’ve got no problem with choosing to wish someone an entire season of wellness. My problem is with it not being considered OK to say Merry Christmas. ---

Most people could honestly not give a shit about religion anyway. I don’t see why it matters one way or the other. ---

discussing and debating this is useless. who cares what people choose to say? say what you want. don’t take offense if people are trying to be inclusive by saying happy holidays. these are the holidays. season’s greetings. who fucking cares. if there is a god, he’s probably laughing at us. ---

It’s the fucking Holiday season, it’s Thanksgiving, it’s Christmas, it’s Kwanza, it’s Chaunaka (sp?), it’s New Years and all that other crap. It’s the fucking Holidays, and you know what? I say “Happy Holidays” because it’s the holiday season, it’s NOT FUCKING CHRISTMAS YET YOU STUPID SHIT. Do you say “Happy Birthday” to someone the entire month leading up to their actual birthday?

i was just over at office max today buying an ink cartridge and the cashier said merry christmas as i cashed out, i thought i t was nice to hear instead of happy holidays even though its not christmas yet, its still the “christmas season” i guess, and i get annoyed by society trying to be too politically correct ---

I think it’s always safer to say happy holidays Thats what I say… unless I KNOW that someone celebrates x-mas, then it’s “merry x-mas”. same goes for my friends who celebrate Hannukah, they get a “Happy Hannukah”. 🙂 The annoying part is that people don’t think that maybe…just maybe…a stranger doesn’t celebrate the same thing. Ultimatly though, who cares? **Look at the bigger picture and realize that the person is nice enough to wish you a “merry” anything. Hey, a least they’re trying to be nice** :lol: PC shit can be annoying too [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/you-know-what-really-grinds-my-gears/5784.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/you-know-what-really-grinds-my-gears/5784.md?page=3)
