It is that time of year again, folks. Start debating.

I think both should be available. Its fine and dandy when someone says " Happy Kwanza" but everyone makes a big deal if the term " Merry Christmas" is used.

IAWTC!!! I have always and will always say "Merry Christmas". Jews can wish each other a Happy Chanukah, and they can even wish me one for all I care. As for Kwanzaa, I have never, ever, ever, met anyone who celebrates Kwanzaa.

really now... and I'm sure you've heard someone wish you a happy Kwanzaa... You just seem to believe that all your beliefs are being oppressed.

I prefer Happy Holidays. It's the polite route, especially if you don't know what someone celebrates. It's like the Ms. v. Mrs. rule.

If someone prefered "Happy Holidays" I'd surely use it, but everyone seems to be fine with "Merry Christmas" around me.

And whenever someone gets upset about the use of "Merry Christmas"... it's yellow journalism.

id go for merry christmas where i live noeone says anything else

Question: Should the phrase Merry Christmas be banned?
Solution: F*ck off.

Just let people say what they want to say - Happy Kwanza, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays or, A Festivus for the Rest of Us!

What really pisses me off is when people get mad when I say Merry Christmas ON Christmas.

Everyone is entitled to their way of greetings others.

What's silly is people being offended by a phrase which is, at the end of the day, just a plessant greeting.

Personaly I preffer "Happy Hogswatch".

I say Merry X-mas, but I chose Happy Holidays because if your'e at a store you really don't kno0w if the people your'e talking to is Jewish or whatever the heck it is you have to celebrate Kwanzaa. But I've never said Happy Holidays or Happy Kwanzaa/ Chuanakah

spongehead 32 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 23, 2006, 03:00:18 pm »

What if the person you are adressing dosn't celebrate a holiday at this time of the year?

America is overwhelmingly christian im sorry to say. So the odds of someone being offended by merry christmas are very low.

Il say Merry Christmas, I don't care what anybody is offended by it, they can say whatever they want to me. Im not going to be offended if anybody says anything else to me. If your offended by it, then too bad, the majority of people are Christian here.

Do you have a brain at all? America is not overwhelmingly Christian... I personally am Agnostic. Well, I believe in a GOD persay, but I think religions like Muslim, Catholicism, and Judaism are complete garbage.

Patback399 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 06, 2007, 04:57:00 pm »

Why are they garbage? They are different from Christianity in one way: the divinity of Jesus. That's it!

Daniel · « **Reply #24 on:** January 06, 2007, 05:01:16 pm »

He thinks ALL of them are garbage; including Christianity.. Not just Judaism and Islam.

No, I meant every word I said, religion is complete garbage... it brainwashes, corrupts, and devestates... just look at the Iraqi war... both sides claimed it to be a holy war and they think that their God is the one and only and that all others are going to hell. RELIGION IS GARBAGE.

Religion is fine if you don't judge a creed different than your own.
