Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays?

[don wiggins]

I voted Merry Christmas but don't have a problem with Happy Holidays. However any sign or advertisement that says "xmas" absolutely will not get my $. Don't take Christ out of Christmas.

I agree with this!

Holiday wishes, however expressed, are from the heart and they should be treated as such. Any attempt to misinterpret them is BS.


Back to my room.

Using an 'X' in Xmas dates back hundreds of years. It's not blasphemous...

I'm agnostic, but my wife and kids are Christians-Methodists and the family I grew up in are a bunch of Catholics. I'm cool with saying or having said to me 'Merry Christmas' or 'Happy Holidays','Happy Hannukah','Kiss the Buddha belly',whattheheckever. "Just gimme my presents...".

This. I say both. No matter what is said to me, I just take it that they are wishing me well.

It's amusing how easily some people get offended. Get over yourselves, and Happy Holidays.

OKC Shooter thanks for the info. I probably won't change my practices concerning spending my dollars at a store with xmas on the sign but you caused me to look it up and before today I never thought that it could be anything other than removing Christ. http://www.snopes.com/holidays/christmas/xmasabbr.asp

The 'X' is a stand-in for the Greek letter chi, which stands for Christ, for X sake.

There's a certain breed of Christian that thrives on the idea of being persecuted, so to them every little f&*king thing is a part of the vicious Atheist Communist plot to attack Christianity and steal our precious bodily fluids.
