"Happy Holidays" became un-Christian when it became offensive to the politically correct to use "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Holidays" interchangeably.

"Happy Holidays" became un-Christian when it became offensive to the politically correct to use "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Holidays" interchangeably. Exactly! As soon as Happy Holidays was INTENTIONALLY imposed in order to avoid saying Merry Christmas then Happy Holidays is being employed in an anti-Christian effort.

It's similar to how the homosexual perverts stole the meaning of gay. Politically correctness has to stop - at its' core is pure evil!!!

I've been hearing and using the term "Happy Holidays" for years, believing it to mean Christmas and New Years. This is the first year that I have seen it construed in a different manner. Personally, I'm not offended, because I don't think most of those who use the term mean any offense.

Yes, exactly. Happy Holidays became anti Christian by definition when it became politically correct. Because the concept of political correctness is itself offensive by definition.

It's not that the words "Happy Holiday" are offensive. It's not. It's when retailers, who make a killing on this Holiday insist on making it policy to remove the word Christmas. It is an attack on not just Christian's it is an attack on American culture as well. Excluding the fat man in the red suit has little to do with the birth of Christ but everything to do with our diluting our culture.
Secondly, the majority of Americans have always been comfortable with Christmas, Jews and Agnostics included. It seems that it became unpopular about the same time that the politically correct bunch thought that we should embrace Ramadan and Eid or Kwanzaa. Anything but Christmas.

"Happy Holidays" became un-Christian when it became offensive to the politically correct to use "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Holidays" interchangeably. It is offensive when when it is used instead of Christmas just to offend people.
