Well i'm the husband to a filipina we still say merry christmas. I am tired of hearing happy holidays. This political correctness gone amuck should stay with the crazies.... i was at college and i was greeted happy holidays and I shot back merry christmas to you too and it was like I commited a mortal sin..

So Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night

GOD BLESS YOU

and it's time to celebrate the birth of our lord and savior JESUS CHRIST

Now i know i will probably offend the athiests pagans and what not.(A blessed christmas to them too) But, that's their problem. Not mine.

I will probably get a TOS warning for saying merry christmas i'm sure and I'm sure in TOS the name JESUS is a derisive and offensive word, but I don't care. And to all the political correct lunatics out there MERRY CHRISTMAS!! may you be loved may you be happy and most of all lay off those who want to call christmas for what it is christmas....

I think the idea of saying Happy Holidays has gone one step to far to the right or left, which ever way you want to look at it. The fact that you say Merry Christmas does not have to be taken away. If the person you say it to takes offense do not worry to much. The truth is saying Merry Christmas can mean many things and I don't see why anybody should be offended by it.

Christmas day is not the real day for the birth of Jesus. His birth celebration was moved to that day so the church could make the pagans feel more at home and want to convert. Then along comes Coke Cola and they add in the idea of Saint Nick, which is based on a German story. So by saying Merry Christmas you are including most of the world population and the ones you are I don't know what to say.......

I for one will always try to say have a Merry Christmas.

Have a blessed Christmas everyone

Wasn't asked of me but I will answer

I don't think anyone should stop saying what they celebrate to others that celebrate. I say Merry Christmas to all my co-workers @ work but I also say Happy Channukah and Happy Eid to those that celebrate. What's the big deal...I don't get it. I do think tho that saying Merry Christmas to someone you KNOW does not celebrate is just ignorant and rude...

I have a mixed family of Muslims, Jewish and Christians so we always have celebrations going on!

Merry Christmas Everyone and a very Happy Healthy and Blessed New Year!

Since "Christmas" as it is celebrated today is just the Pagan holiday Yule with a Xian spin on it, bet your ####### I'm going to say "Happy Holidays" rather than Merry Christmas.

See, By saying Happy Holidays rather than "Happy Yule!", I am acknowledging that you might have your own holiday to celebrate rather than the one I celebrate. Happy Holidays is a non-confrontational way of offering holiday greetings. I don't get offended if someone tells me "Merry Christmas", even though I'm not Christian. I wouldn't be offended if I were wished a Happy Hanukkah either. I know that there tend to be some zealots here in the US who WOULD be offended if I wished them a Merry Yule though, so I stick to Happy Holidays.

Who's REALLY the intolerant one?

I doubt the person thought you committed a mortal sin, but I'll bet they were shocked by your vehemence in wishing them a "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!"

Zealots tend to shock and frighten everyone.

Not filipino, but I will still say Merry Christmas as I always have done and I will still send Christmas cards which say the same. It won't bother me what anyone wishes me.
