I like to hear Merry Christmas. Christmas is a religious time of year. And a good one.

    I always say Merry Christmas. Tough noogies to the people who believe in political correctness.
    A store employee said Merry Christmas to me the other day. I thanked her for saying it that way.

    "Happy Holidays" is more polite and mindful towards others because not everyone celebrates Christmas.

      Yeah, but people who don't celebrate Christmas are still happy to get days off from work or time and half (or double time) if they have to work. They don't mind receiving bonuses at work or shopping at big sales.

      Christmas is the reason for the season without Christmas there would be no celebration. I don't care to accommodate people who want to strip the true meaning from something but still seek to reap the spoils of said thing.

        As far as I'm concerned it will always be about the birth of the baby Jesus!

    Most often I have no idea of someone's religious preference, so Happy Holidays seems to convey the message pretty well. Since the season in the US is no longer a religious holiday for most, it makes more sense anyway.
    Not that I give two shits if somebody gets upset if I sat Christmas and it doesn't suit them.

    I honestly think giving the slightest shit is pointless.
