It's like going to a restaurant, and telling the server to bring you "food".

I celebrate the secular version of Christmas. Now, you say it: Christ - mas.

This year, as for the past several years, I will tell people who wish me a "happy holiday" (whatever that means) that I celebrate Christmas, and like many such celebrants (of course other than Pee See robots) I don't like being wished a "happy holiday".

Likewise, people should be wished a Happy Hannukah and a Happy Kwanzaa.

Don't know what they celebrate? Than why not just shut up instead of makeing yourself look like a PC a-hole? :lol:
 
The War On Christmas is probably my favorite war ever. :lol:

It means "Happy what-ever-holiday-you-celebrate" and generally includes New Years as well. Since one cannot determine upon mere eye contact what holiday one celebrates (if any at all), and we are generally including a second holiday anyway, then it only makese sense to wish said person a generic "happy holiday".

that I celebrate Christmas, and like many such celebrants (of course other than Pee See robots) I don't like being wished a "happy holiday".
Well personally, when someone wishes me good wishes and good cheer, i really don't give a **** if they word it "happy holidays" or "merry xmas" or what-the-****-ever. The sentiment is what counts. Unless of course you're some self-righteous, arrogant, prick who thinks that if someone chooses to send you good tidings, they should do so under YOUR terms only.

Happy holiday. :2razz:

If I do not know what someone celebrates, I will say "happy holiday". If they arrogantly say, "I celebrate Christmas, so wish me a Merry Christmas", I will, sarcastically, repeat 'happy holidays". When I say "happy holidays", I am, sincerely, wishing you a happy, healthy, holiday season, regardless of what you celebrate...or if you celebrate at all. Saying so doesn't make one look like a PC-asshole. It makes one look sincere in not knowing exactly what to say, but wanting to wish happiness, anyway. Being nasty and arrogant about this, makes that person look like an inconsiderate jerk.

Yaaaaaa - anti-religious bigotry is probably the only "religion" most lib wingnuts will ever have,

If you don't, say "Merry Christmas" and you'll be right 90% of the time. And about 90% of that 90% would prefer you take your "happy holiday" and shove it where the sun don't shine. :mrgreen:

Sure, I can see how you would believe that, but the THINKING portion of people who celebrate christmas realize it's just more PC - speak to take religion out of the public square.

Unless of course you're some self-righteous, arrogant, prick who thinks that if someone chooses to send you good tidings, they should do so under YOUR terms only

I'll take self-righteous any day before a brainwashed robotized undiscerning moron. :rofl

1. Being pro-logic and secularism is NOT anti-religious, nor is mocking the alleged War on Christmas.

2. One cannot be a bigot about their lack of belief in an absurdity.

3. Secularism, and the use of logic is no religion by any useful interpretation of the word.

Honestly, to expect everyone to know and acknowledge that you're celebrating Christmas comes off as bigoted. You're using words like "bigotry" and "religion" and I don't think you understand what they mean.

I accept with no problems when people who don't know that I am not a Christian wish me a merry Christmas. They are lucky as well of not reading my mind when they do so very often.

But in case, someone writes such a good wish in general in these topics, have in mind that I will wish you back the same.

"Merry Christmess to you as well!

....

...and yes...f*ck you too...":lol:

Why give an empty, pointless meaningless greeting to someone you don't know? Like stopping someone on the street and saying "How's your uncle?" :mrgreen:

Expect the one-finger salute back! :lol:

The "sincerity" of offensive stupidity doesn't make it any less offensive stupidity.

Saying so doesn't make one look like a PC-asshole.

That's EXACTLY what it makes one look like - before about 20 years ago, nobody was saying this ianity, nor any of the welter of other idiotic and politically-motivted PCisms that have infected the language.

It makes one look sincere in not knowing exactly what to say, but wanting to wish happiness, anyway. Being nasty and arrogant about this, makes that person look like an inconsiderate jerk.

People who INITIATE the interchange with something that is offensive to many people are the jerks. Most probably tolerate your offensiveness silently, I'm here to inform all the jerks on their behalf.

Did I say I expect that? Nooooooooooo, I didn't.

If they don't know what holiday I celebrate, or even if I celebrate any at all, it's STUPID to even bring it up! :mrgreen: Geez, get a clue.

Actually, it's been my experience that very few people-- far less than 89%-- are so bigoted, antisocial, and uncultured as to become upset and offended when someone wishes them either a "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays", since most non-Christians in America celebrate Christmas and since most Christians in America are not flaming, intolerant jackasses.

A person would have to be a real miserable excuse for a human being to tell someone else to shove their holiday greetings "where the sun don't shine", regardless of how those greetings are phrased. Frankly, if someone starting bitching at me for wishing them either a "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays", I'd probably break their teeth and give them something to really whine about.
 
Unless you are a Roman Catholic, the word "Christmas" has no applicable meaning to you anyway.

Does any other religion have "mass"?
I rest my case.

Happy holidays.

How do you KNOW they aren't?? How do you know the person isn't thinking "he's a PC moron, but I'm at this party to have fun, so I'll just shrug it off"? And you have it ass-backwards to say that a protest of a PCism which is just one of many campaigns libs have launched as an assault on christianity is bigoted. AND the idea that using all the vile PCisms libs have come up with is the standard of CULTURE is about the biggest howler I've heard in a thread FULL of them! :rofl

Does "happy holiday" have any meaning to anyone with or without a religion?

Nooooooooo......

It's an empty, TOTALLY MEANINGLESS PCism. :roll:

Merry Christmas!!!

:2razz::2razz::2razz:​
 
I wish people a happy "Rama-Hanna-Kwans-mas" Cause Glenn Beck nailed this.

And people that wish me "Happy Holidays", I tell them "It's Christmas bub" and walk off.

It's fun to watch really.

Maybe you don't understand some points about these end of the year holydays. About Christmas, such December 25th is a wrong date -even as a symbolic date- for the birth of the Crhist. his dude Christ should be born in September-October not so in December. Apparently, he was born in the first day of the biblical feats of the tents, as an action of thanks, and he was circumcised 8 days later with the celebration of the biblical Last and Great Day feast. 30 years and six month later he was killed in the cross in the moth March-April when the Passover is celebrated.

The hannukah celebration is more a celebration of winning a war and a miracle happening between, instead of being a "religious" feast, so, this is not a real religious holyday after all.

About the other religious celebrations like Kwanzaa, this is a mixture of African religious principles to be put together with American customs, so this feast is not an ancient tradition but a novelty lasting some decades.

What happening in the human history to make this end of the year so busy about religion anyway? Very simple, the worship of the Sun. In this month the days get the shorter and start to get longer again. The Sun worshipers of the Northen hemisphere used to celebrate the beginning of longer days (they didn't enjoy electricity) and they made feasts known as pagan celebrations.

So, at the end, what you are celebrating in reality is nothing but pagan religious feasts when you wish and enjoy your merry Christmas. If you have doubts about my explanation you can consult even the Catholic Encyclopedia where it notes that Christmas wasn't celebrated by the early Christians but that this feast was an adaptation to the celebrations made by pagan cultures.

So, please don't wish me merry pagan celebrations anymore...my reply to such a wish has been posted in a former message of mine...
