Happy Holidays (Ranty)

[DailyDi]

The annual "It's Merry Christmas not Happy Holidays!" posts and rants on facebook drive me crazy. Saying "H.H" isn't a slight at Christians, it's inclusive of non-Christians.

[diaperedandspanked]

Agreed................but being old school, I say

[justagirl4fun]

I've found that Christians like to play the victim. Just as they bitch that they "can't" say Merry Christmas, they also claim that their kids "can't" pray in school.

Bah fucking humbug, I don't do any holidays. I always get screwed over hardcore this time of year, and this year is the worst one yet. Take your holiday cheer and shove it up your ass!

Now come on take a breath and tell us what your really feel !!!!!!

I've found I don't mind christmas too bad any more. Of course this is mostly because I've cut the cord to my TV and don't turn on "that" radio channel which only plays christmas music. Less over indulgence means more tolerance to go around.

Did that, still pissed off and stressed out

I agree 100% DailyDi. The world is too darn PC anymore, and that sucks the spirit of good will out of people.

[babymikeblue]

i totally agree DD.

It's not called Christmas here, but ""Jul"

Happy Holidays everyone. :3

I'm so with you on this one Mikey, and this is coming from someone whose home currently looks like it wants to be Macy's when it grows up. Happy Holidays is inclusive, it covers everyone, including people who might not celebrate anything other than a simple day off. Sometimes I might ask someone if they celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or anything else if I want to give them a more personalized greeting and I'm comfortable with asking, but in most situations "Happy Holidays" works fine.

[Bettypooh]

I say both, but "Merry Christmas" gets said to strangers only in response to the same if they beat me to the punch(line)

[rusty pins]

You can be damned if you do and damned if you don't!

I have a coworker who in spite of generally being a nice guy, buys into the "war on Christmas" BS.

[Bettypooh]

And what if I don't want to feel happy about it?

DD has brought up a fairly good point. Where is the true meaning of any holiday? They have all switched to being so commercialized that the true spirit of any holiday and what it actually stands for, has gone down with green. Have you not noticed come Halloween, Nov. 1, all those candies are half price and the Christmas stock is being put on the shelves. WAIT!! There is one holiday you are forgetting to celebrate.

Did all my shopping online and was done 2 weeks ago. Everything wrapped and by the fireplace.

When I know what you celebrate I always use the appropriate terms.

When religious affiliation is unknown a generic term is more appropriate.

Using religious terms on others is not respectful of individual beliefs.

Happy Holidays takes nothing away from any religion and is an appropriate phrase to use if religious affiliation is not known.
