PrometheusMFD Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Ok, lets talk about Christmas Break and the war on- Annoying, PC person: It's Winter Break! We don't want to offend anyone! *Shoots the Annoying, PC person* Anyway, lets talk about Christmas Break and the war on Christmas. People say that labeling it Christmas Break is offensive to non-Christians. Are you saying that other people enjoy being lied to? Because that is what is happening, we are being lied to. The lie? That Corperations, Schools, and Television are playing their "Holiday" specials for a "religously neutral" audiance. That is a load of crap and we all know it. Let's come to terms with it, it is all for Christmas. Hanukka only sparingly falls in the area around Christmas Break, Kwanzaa takes place December 26th to January 6th (which is most likely after we arrive back to our daily lives), and Ramadan (although labelled a "Winter" holiday) never takes place in December. I'm not saying other religions are false, I am just saying don't lie to me about why I am missing a month (because we indeed get a month off this year for Christmas Break) of school. And another thing! People who work retail, don't say "Happy Holidays". You do not know how annoying it is. If you don't want to make assumptions, or you are too scared to wish people cheer on a day you celebrate but your customer doesn't necessarily recognize, then just shut up. Now, my friends of other faiths, tell me: Does saying Christmas Break, or Merry Christmas offend you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazer Yoshi Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 People should just leave it as "Merry Christmas." Happy Holidays is Stupid. People REALLY need to get over it. It was meant to be called Christmas, not that December Holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miazo Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I'm fine. Thanks for wishing me a good day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I say Happy Holidays, not that you are offending anyone, but you are treating the world as 100% Christian. I an half and half Hindu, but I am not offended when people say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. I think that HH applies to an overall more people, and still applies to people who celebrate Christmas. But people go TOO far with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flinsbon Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 At my school, we are all lazy, so we just call it "Break" as in, "Hey, how long are we on break for?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 my old school did that a lot too. Such a bunch of lazy bums we were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flinsbon Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Yeah. Though, as an alternative, we usually assume people celebrate Christmas because it's usually well-known if they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 not for me. Some people in my neighborhood simply keep quiet all the time on everything. No one ever knows what the family is ever doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
