My opinion . . .it IS Merry Christmas. Christmas is a Christian holiday, why should we have to break for other religons needs when they don't fo it for us? Just like, it's Christmas Tree, not holiday tree.. . . christmas break, not holiday break . . . All the other religions in this world have their own independent holiday and we aren't offended. MERRYT CHRISTMAS!!!!


Merry Christmas!!!

Many of the traditions of Christmas have been borrowed from other spiritual tradtions. And not everyone celebrates the Religious aspects of this holiday as in many ways it's been also made into a secular holiday.

I think either well wish is fine. I normally say Merry Christmas but usually buy cards to send that say Happy Holidays b/c it includes the other celebrations that people observe this time ofyear

I personally say Merry Christmas to people and have for years and will continue to do so... however if someone wants to say Happy Holidays I just say Merry Christmas to you to...If someone wants to say Happy Hannukah.. its their choice I think we should be allowed to say what we want to say without being made to feel bad...

Frankly, I never understood all the hoopla about changing... December 25*is* Christmas and wanting to change what we say was always so silly to me. If we'd ban other groups from saying their greetings or celebrating their holidays, it would hit the proverbial fan. This got*way* out of hand over the last few years!

If I say Merry Christmas to a Jewish person, they were never offended. If I said it to a Muslim or Buddhist without knowing, same thing.. offense was never taken, they just said they don't celebrate, but Merry Christmas to ME.

I'm so glad some of the merchants are starting to wake up now!

Why is it Merry Christmas and Happy everything else? Why not Happy Christmas and Merry Thanksgiving? Does it have something to do with Mary (Merry) being the mother of Christ (Christmas)? If anyone knows, I'd love to know why.


myLot reputation of 90/100. luvadeal46 (228)  4 years ago

Great Analysis... Mary, mother of Christ and Christmas in history was suppose to be Jesus Birthday...ummmm... you now have me thinking...

I think either is fine. Christmas has gotten way out of hand and people forget the real meaning of Christmas. Not everyone celebrates the holidays the same way, so it doesn't bother me with either saying.
