Dark Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Nick: "Happy Holidays!"CNN: "Happy Holidays!"Disney: "Happy Holidays!" Happy Holidays? Why? Why not Merry Christmas? Anything wrong with that? People are "offended" by Merry Christmas. Why? Don't try to prove me wrong, people of different races are OFFENDED by Merry and Christmas. And 99% of those people are immigrants. I am half Hindu and have Christian. Should I be offended? My friend is completley Jewish. Should he be offended? Offended? Why? It is two words, which describe a specific holiday. Is anyone restricting what holidays you can celebrate? No. They came to this country knowing that most of the population was Christian. Why are they offended? Please discuss, cause I really don't understand the mentality of these idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abstract [Atrocity] Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 they're trying to be politically correct. Not everyone celebrates christmas. there's kwanzaa, and hannukah (sp? think theres a c at the start). how would it be if the TV stations said "happy kwanzaa" instead of "happy holidays?"

If there was a Jewish channel, they can say Happy Kwanzaa all they want. But these immigrants came to America KNOWING it was a mainly Christian country and most people celebrate Christmas. And now they are complaining? I don't get what these people are thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larxene Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Kwanzaa isn't even a real holiday. =/ It's just a fake holiday black people made up just so they could have their own holiday in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazer Yoshi Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 People are Wussies. They should keep it as Merry Christmas. It was what is what MEANT to be called.It's like calling Thanksgiving "Big Feast". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was what is what MEANT to be called.It's like calling Thanksgiving "Big Feast". Happy "Big Feast"' date=' everyone! Lol. I think it's unnecessary that people have to use the phrase "Happy Holidays" as a substitute for "Merry Christmas". ; I know for a fact that most Catholics will not be offended if someone said "Happy Kwanzaa" to them. Most Catholics would simply reply, "Merry Christmas to you too!" *Sigh*.

Oh oh...if they do then I say 'Merry Christmas!'. If they are Jewish I say 'Happy Hanna..kuah..'. If they are non-religious....'Have a nice day'.

Jericho Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 They say "happy holidays" to not be religiously biased. If they said "Happy/Merry [instert religious holiday here]", and they said every holiday, they would still be offending the millions upon millions of Agnostics and Atheists, you insensensitive jackass.

Dark Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I know that, but mostly because my sig contains a variety of holidays. If my sig only said Merry Christmas, I would not bother with the other holidays. And why should we NEED to be politically correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revan Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I think that "Happy holidays" is actually pretty dumb. More then 95% of the US celebrates christmas, and not all of that 95% is christian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbamber Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 People can say it however the hell they want.If you are in a store, and a person said "Happy Kwanzaa," you don't go thinking "Wtf? Does he think I'm black?"No. You said "Thanks, you too..." Let people say "Happy Holidays" They are saying it cause there are 3 HOLIDAYS around the same time.Jeez...

Raelen Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Some people don't like the Christ in Christmas. (Even though that is what Christmas is really about.) The TV stations say, "Happy Holiday" to cover their asses from any court summonses. I prefer, "Merry Christmas" myself. Soon people will be rewriting Christmas carols to please everybody.
