Best Buy Bans Use Of Merry Christmas In Stores

This just makes me so mad when I hear this. I don't find any offense at all when I hear someone say Happy Chanukah(spelling?) or Happy Kwanza, or anything else for that matter, and I would never get offended if I heard it or saw it written in a store. What the heck is this world coming to? This is just crazy, we have to stop this somehow, and right now the only way to start is by hitting these stores where it hurts, in the pocketbook, I will not step foot in Best Buy again.

I think it is silly they should be allowed to say whatever they feel comfortable with. If you don't believe in Christmas you could always reply with Happy Holidays. It isn't meant to offend anyone. I don't tell other religions how to act and what to say.

I don't know why so many people are so hung up on being politically correct. I understand that not everyone celebrates Christmas, but it seems unreasonable to me for people to put so much emphasis on eliminating "Christmas" from a greeting. I wouldn't be offended if someone wished me Happy Hanukah or Happy Kwanzaa.

I think happy holidays is a good thing, as it incorporates all people, religions and what not. But it is silly how everyone now days gets so offended about every little thing. what is wrong with merry christmas? I think of it as just another holiday, and dont affiliate any other meaning with it. just like saying happy easter, or happy halloween. whats the difference? people just need to grow up, and come to the realization that the world doesnt revolve around them, and everyone isnt going to cater to their beliefs of what is right and wrong.

I am sorry to hear this there are so many traditions that are being destroyed lately. It makes you wonder if everybody is trying to be a robot instead of being themselves without making everyone else their duplicate. One thing i do not like is smoking bans in restaurants and pubs. And I do not smoke. But it makes me feel that americans are losing more and more of their freedoms in this country.

Before long I think that our government will try to outlaw the use of the term Merry Christmas in our churches and homes. I think that this is absolutely ridiculous and will not shop here this CHRISTMAS! Funny that they depend so much on people purchasing Christmas presents at their stores to make a major profit and yet want to deny the use of this expression. It really makes me want to go to Best Buy and just walk through the aisles saying Merry Christmas to everyone I met.

yes i can use bans

Merry Christmas has been around forever. Why change something that works. I don't know. Sometimes I think we complicate our own lives!

In a way I think it's good because it does'nt alienate any body and iits still a good greeting

I think this is horrendous and that our country needs to stop trying to be so politically correct and take a minute to stop and look at what our country was founded on. It is awful that we try and please everyone else while putting our national beliefs on the back burner. There is a way and time to be politically correct, but this is not it. Even from a financial stand point it is ludacris because they are going to loose a lot of money now when christans and reasonable Americans hear this. Thanks for alerting me, I won't be going to any Best Buy's this holiday season.

Oh for the love of... What does it matter what someone says, if they're wishing someone well? Merry Christmas is not secular! The majority of America does not celebrate Christmas as a secular holiday! 95% of all Christmas traditions have nothing to do with Christianity in the least! How does wishing someone a good holiday, in any words, translate to disrespect? Wish me a Merry Christmas, a Happy Chaunhakah, a Blessed Yule, a Bright Midwinter's Night, I don't care! They all basically mean the same thing!

i think the reason alot of place being merry christmas, or anything that has to do with christ, god ect they think that will upset people, which i think it is wrong, if they dont like it they just have to deal with it
