People are proud to be saying Merry Christmas again. I am proud to have led the charge against the assault of our cherished and beautiful phrase. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Thank you Mr. Trump. I used to have to write Merry Christmas on a little slip of paper and slide it across the table to my priest who ate it immediately

Hard to believe that only a year ago people were thrown in jail for saying "Merry Christmas" but now thanks to @RealDonaldTrump we can say anything we want.. except "Diversity," "fetus," "transgender," "vulnerable," "entitlement," "science-based" and "evidence-based." #Freedumb

(102,340 posts)I am so sick of it. It is humiliating.
There is a reason our founders sought to protect religion while separating it from STATE.
Happy Holidays and if that means Merry Christmas, or Happy Hanukkah or Happy Festivus, or Happy Kwanzaa or just a secular happy day off from work, may you reap enjoyment.

Maybe Obama needs to come out and act like the EPA is a bad thing...

(Its that time of year where people are getting upset over Happy Holidays instead of just saying Merry Christmas. I have had many people point this out and complain when I wish them a Happy Holidays after check out, so after the third one I start saying something else. And before you guys ask I did in fact look everything up that I didnt know and a few of these things I knew before hand.)
Me: Thank you, sir, Happy Holidays!
Customer: Why do people say that? You dont have to be politically correct all the time!
Me: Im sorry, sir. Have a Happy Hanukkah!
Customer: I dont celebrate that.
Me: Sorry, sir, but today is the third day of Hanukkah. Thats the holiday going right now.
Customer: But I dont celebrate that! *leaves with a huff*
(Later that day
Me: Thank you, maam. Happy Holidays!
Customer: Oh, sweety, Im a Christian. Please dont say that to me.
Me: Oh! Well, Happy Saint Lucias Day, then!
Customer: What are you talking about?
Me: Thats the Christian holiday today. Are you celebrating with family?
Customer: What? No! I celebrate Christmas at the end of the month. Thats the only Christian holiday! *she storms off*
(I said Happy Advent. I said ChristmaHanukkwanza once. The eight nights of Hanukkah were fun because they were early in the month that year. There are many holidays I said that were real and going on. I did this multiple times and was surprised I wasnt fired, but my manager thought it was entertaining. Honestly, we are all tired of getting yelled at for saying Happy Holidays, which we are supposed to say to not upset anyone.)

(6,083 posts)It even appeared on state road signs in some places in the U.S. Now, of course, the stench of the Nazis will cling to it until the end of time.
I hope that things like saying Merry Christmas and singing The Star-Spangled Banner dont suffer the same fate.
