Its a federal holiday so eventually they will blame Bush.

I know one bunch of folks who still say Merry Christmas: the people manning the kettles for the Salvation Army.

Merry Christmas to them and God bless 'em!

I don't understand why this is such a big deal. I worked in retail 20 years ago, and we were instructed to say "Happy Holidays".

This "happy holidays" thing is just bullshizza. Can't wait to get out my Nativity scene for Christmas and put it where everyone can see it. On top of my house if I have to!

All this concern about wishing a Merry Christmas during Advent. The Christmas season extends for 12 days, but when was the last time anyone wished you a Merry Christmas on December 28th?

I don't buy "Holiday gifts." I buy Christmas presents.

Anyone who wants me to shop at their store for Christmas presents will acknowledge the name of the holiday.

It's totally understandable that companies don't want to offend anyone except the Christians. </ sarc>

Hi All-

I've experienced people wishing me a "Happy Holiday" with regard to Thanksgiving...nevermind Christmas. Everytime someone sends that weak statement my way, I promptly reply with a MERRY CHRISTMAS! of my own.

I don't know, but it really has me out of the Christmas mood. I don't need to support these greedy retailers anyway.

I'm feeling the same way; I wish we had a list of who IS supporting Christmas.

The trite joke of "It's Bush's fault!" is completely threadbare and overdone. FReepers are advised to give it a rest.

Can't we just get through Thanksgiving before we worry about anyone saying Merry Christmas?

I proudly wear my "Jesus Is The Reason For The Season" pin beginning right after Thanksgiving. I also say "Merry Christmas" to everyone!
