Merry Christmas - happy holidays?

[Mark TKO]

OK so I'm reading this morning about Trump and this merry Christmas carry on.

I've obviously missed something or it's just stateside but when the fuck did saying merry Christmas become offensive.

This is so fucked up

The way things are going language will be banned and having an opinion in the mind will be a crime within about 20 years. Christmas is a daft concept considering it is just extremist consumerism these days, but not calling it Christmas because it might be offensive is just as daft. Personally I go around sending cards to people with pictures of snowmen on the front and the message "Delightful extremist consumerism salutations to you all!" duly inscribed. It makes me feel jolly inside.

I've stated this previously but .....


When I say "Merry Christmas" to someone even if they are not of the Christian faith all I am doing is wishing them the best of hope, love, friendship, etc that my faith has to offer. So if someone told me "Happy Chanukah" I would accept it that they were doing the same but from the Jewish faith.


People just search out reasons to be offended...it's childish, look at college campuses in America today......just a bunch of bed wetters

Merry Christmas for me and I'm as non religious as they come. It's more so how I was raised and frankly fond family memories. Many of the bigger stores are pretty much told to keep it "Happy holidays" as to not offend or exclude anyone but I make it a point to drop Merry Christmas at every dealing or transaction. If someone tells me Happy Hanukkah or what have you I'm not offended in the least. It's what they know, like and follow so all the power to them.

This is just right wing propaganda and complete nonsence to divide people against non-Christians.

Do not fall for it.
