What do you think?

I am glad we think alike. I do not put down others on their beliefs and ask to learn more about them so I to can honor them when the time comes. I appreciate your feed back in this manner I just wish this country would leave well enough alone. I think more of us need to be heard. Thank you

I agree also. This is just getting ridiculous to be honest. I heard that one retail store(won't mention names) is telling their cashiers to try to guess what religion the customer is to know to say Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or whatever. Ok, let's just look at someone and decide if they celebrate Christmas or not! What is this world coming to that we can't even say Merry Christmas anymore? We have been saying it for years, and NOW someone wants to be offended. Come on already.

Thanks for agreeing. Maybe we can get Bush and the others up there to take note of who is electing them and get this cleared up. Let's keep the Prayers going that it will change who they are on this matter.

and A Very Merry Christmas to You. I assume you believe in Christmas? What is your view on the discussion? Would you support a demonstration on this matter?

What?

Nothing you have said is remotely relevant to this discussion

That is what I was thinking...

I can't understand anything you are talking about. I hope you don't think you are going to get a job if you can't even follow a discussion.

what is this with you not even taking the time to wish some one a merry christmas on your own, you have to copy something as simple as that from loverboy above. I am letting you all no if you can't follow a simple rule you will be kicked off and you have been reported!!!

Thank you for standing up for our rights as Americans. We don't boycot their stores because they don't celebrate our holiday. Why do some of these people have Christmas decorations if they don't want to pass along the meaning of this holiday? I do commercialize it because I want to pass along the good cheer and blessings of this special day. I give donations to the poor and needy, I pay my taxes and am an upstanding citizen of this country. Why shouldn't I be allowed to voice my opinion by passing along a blessing or a cheerful message of Merry Christ-mas? Thank you for the AMEN!

you have no idea what this conversation is about do you?

Thank you. It is a joyful time of year that should be spread to all. Even if you don't believe in Jesus Christ you should be happy someone is wishing you a good day. Are people offended when you say have a good day? I don't know why people are so offended by others. I don't get angry when someone says gazontite (if that is spelled right) when I sneeze. No I say thank you. When someone says to me Happy holidays I don't get angry I say and a Merry Christmas to you. This is my way of letting them know I celebrate Christmas and pass on my wishes to them. I would not be offended if they said Happy Hannukah to me nor would I have them punished for saying it. I would be pleased that they are letting people know what they believe in. I would not feel they are pushing it down my throat either. You should feel good about your religion and the happiness we are supposed to be creating in this country. Maybe this is why our country is in such bad shape now.

You are correct in what this discussion is about. A quick fix is not needed when should be saying what you want. Adding a bunch of new holiday greetings? These greetings of all have been around since before any of us were even born. Why should we change them now? Pass along your message to me I will gladly say Thank You. Even if I don't celebrate your holy day let it be known that you do. This is supposed to be the Land of the Free. It doesn't seem that way when we are now being told what we can and can not say. This is my point. I am not saying I don't want to hear your greetings but allow me and those like me to wish you a Merry Christmas and respond with Happy Hanukkah or Kwanza if you wish. Just don't take away our celebration. It is a time of many religious celebrations and it should be announced that we Believe in our religion not that we are trying to get you to take on our religion.
