      Personally I'm very happy if anyone wishes me a Merry Anything.

        This whole "issue" just bothers me.

        For heaven's sake, just be happy that someone was pleasant. no one means to insult anyone with a greeting. If you don't celebrate Christmas, just accept that the other person probably does and was just trying to be friendly. If you do, don't take the omission of the word "Christmas" as an affront to your beliefs. JUST BE NICE TO PEOPLE. Gods.

            My poit exactly and completely agreed. I don't understand where the big deal is about just being nice to people. it really isn't that hard.

              I do not understand. Why don't people understand that A) the greeting is supposed to be for the person hearing it, not saying it, so it doesn't matter what your own religious beliefs are, the point is that you're acknowledging the other person's religious identity and B) Christmas is a holiday and is included in Happy Holidays.

              Why is this so difficult???

                The other thing I don't understand is why this is an issue -now.- I wasn't around back in the day, but I'm pretty sure no one flipped out when Bing Crosby sang the song "Happy Holiday." That song has been played around Christmas since 1942 with no issues whatsoever. There have been cards, banners, and greetings saying "Happy Holidays" for years and it wasn't a big deal. Now people want to get all crazy about it.

                It works the other way too. When I was in college in Canada, the city I lived in decided to call the big Christmas tree at city hall (or maybe it was the legislative buildings) a "seasonal tree", because of the residents who didn't celebrate Christmas. Aside from the fact that other major religions in the area don't even have a tree at all, what is wrong with the word "Christmas"? I don't see how being PC about it is more inclusive. Some people back then used to get upset if someone wished them a "merry christmas" because they didn't celebrate...just get over it. Someone was nice to you.

                  I got this at work last night, and it took all my self control not to go off. Was cashing the guy out and told him "Have a good rest of your evening and a happy holiday"...got back a rather snotty "Its merry christmas. I celebrate Christmas". -___-

                  "Well sir, not everyone does, I certainly don't, so I'd rather just say Happy holidays and not assume one way or the other." He shut up and left after that but still. I hate when people get all pissy just because someone even bothered to wish them anything. Why can't they just say "You too" and be happy that someone even took the time to say anything at all? They could be like my brother and hate the whole holiday season period and be a complete scrooge.

                    everything is an effing issue nowadays...in general...this is just another one of the many things people all of a sudden have problems with. most likely because they have too much time to think or something. god knows what the heck the problem is. whatever it is they need to get over themselves. its annoying!

                    and in general may i point out that it just pisses me off, that people cant just be nice and caring...show interest in others and just be effing normal.......................seriously how hard is it to put your needs/feelings aside FOR ONCE to maybe....JUST MAYBE make someone else feel good....being surrounded by self centered people feels so damn f**king good seriously -_-' *goes and sits in an effing corner*

                        Let's be real here. I wear my earbuds in my ears in public. Almost all the time. People say things to me and I just say Sorry, Thank you, yes, no. I have no idea what anybody is saying to me. We have one of those ringers at the Ralph's across from my work. I go there early in the morning before my shift starts to get a croissant and some fruit. I see this gal. She swings the bell. Says something. I say thank you, you too. I have no idea what she has ever said to me. I just smile and ignore the whole world while it loses it's every loving mind at this time of year.

                        So if you see a gal just nodding and smiling. It's me. And I have no idea what you said. And you don't even care. So there.

                          Years ago we just said 'greetings of the season' and left it at that. Some called it the festive season.

                          And Mr Penry always called it the festering season...

                            This whole thing reminds me of a Cyanide and Happiness comic.

                            Guy 1: "Merry Christmas!"
                            Guy 2: "You know, that may be a little insensitive to people who don't celebrate Christmas."

                            Guy 1: "Happy Holidays!"
                            Guy 3: "Oh great, a generic holiday greeting..."

                            Guy 1: "Hi!"
                            Guy 4: "What the hell is that supposed to mean!?"


                            Reiterating what's already been said though, I really think people need to stop getting so offended at gestures of politeness. I don't care if someone wishes me Merry Christmas or Happy Azathoth Day. It's a holiday greeting, so I accept it, smile, and say "you too." I never initiate holiday greetings though.
