It did also give Bill O'Reilly an excuse to start up his annual War on Christmas nonsense.
Secular Humanists and atheists waged war against Christmas two decades ago.
I wish the ACLU (Anti Christ Liberal Union) a Merry Christmas and a Happy.
Uh, the obscene amount of nonsense you subscribe to scares me. Indoctrination complete.
Your "logic" and "reasoning" are simply flawed but I'm inclined to believe there's medication available for your mental disorder.
People who say Happy Holidays aren't getting out of anything; they're still saying Holy-days. Hahahaha, fools.
Nope we say Holidays not Holydays. Some people need hooked on phonics.

Instead of Happy Holydays I say Happy Secular Celebratory Days! :2razz:

Nope, you are still saying Holy days whether you realize it or not. Some people need word history lessons.
Just becuase holiday originated from "holy day" does not mean that the term is used that way by all people. The modern usage of Holiday pertains to a gathering celebrated by many people on a specific day. Unless you consider April Fool's day a Holy Day?
I consider the word origins. And in terms of the word origin, Holiday derives from Holy Day. Don't blame me; I didn't make the origin up. It is what it is.
Does that make Christmas a pagan holiday?

Holiday does come from Holy Day, but when I say "holiday", I'm saying "holiday" not "holy day". The word has now transgressed it's origin.

Being that Christmas is literally "Christ's mass", no.

But the origins of the holiday are completely pagan. It was merely renamed by the Christians. Shouldn't the original be what we take as the true meaning?
The practice was merely usurped in an attempt to convert pagans over. The actual holiday is pagan in origin. If things can't evolve (like the meaning of holiday), that we must take the original as still valid. The origins of the holiday we call Christmas is pagan, the name was merely changed.
The date of Christmas was deliberately chosen by the Church to coincide with Saturnalia in Rome, so that it could directly compete with the Pagan holidays that it was trying to oust. I don't think it had much to do with living in peace so much as it was about displacement.
