You know what really grinds my gears?

I heard that Christmas is more celebrating some guy that gave gifts and what not years ago… he died and his legend went on to be Santa Claus and we continue that tradition today.

But ya… Happy Holidays is silly… people are out of control with this crap.

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.

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.

[Coldaccord]

what does christmas have to do with religion? where does it talk about santa clause in the bible?

and walter; thanks you’re hilarious

[Boomin99GT]

Festivous for the rest of us

[RedGoober4Life]

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.

I am always PC, I only say “Merry Christmas” to people that look like Chistians.

Getting your panties in a wad over someone saying “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas” makes you a bigger douche bag than the fuck sticks that get bent about the “Merry Christmas” in the first place. 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? No! So shut the fuck up you whiney bitch.

+1… teh winnar

[MrFliGSR]

waler could not have said it better. Write to Blow Off Some Steam into the Metro News about this, teh old ppl will love it

[Deuce]

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

[ly555is]

[1sik_bmw]

Good no-one said it yet,

:tup: to me not reading the thread and just posting my response to the first post.

[DSMigraine]

:tup: Walter. Its so much eaiser to say one broad comment then to go through and guess what the hell everyone is, this way everyone feels they are welcomed and no one feels excluded.

BAH HUMBUG! to the most insane time of the year

[ly555is]

:tup: to jan working agnostic shit into this thread

and citing her own post - i thought i was the only one that assumed Ph.D. status in threads

[Fry]

I’ve been unclear.

I’m bothered by the idea that it is becoming socially unacceptable to say “Merry Christmas”. I’m done. Rock on with your greeting of choice. :tup:

@walter

Do you say “Happy Birthday” to someone the entire month leading up to their actual birthday? No! So shut the fuck up you whiney bitch.

best argument for Holiday Season ever.

[RuBiCaNT]

EDITED for Rudeness

[Lucky_Cheater]

Im just gonna say “Merry FUCK…PISS…” for now on

give people something to really be offended by

-cheater-

[STEALTTH]

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
