Also, why do people take offense at the mere acknowledgement of other holidays? It's silly to be offended by either greeting. To Shak Hill: This is not a Christian nation. Treaty of Tripoli and the seperation of church and state idea see to that. It's a little dumb, if you ask me, to get upset over someone saying "Happy Holidays". Why can't people just take them both as a nice comment? Does it really matter whether someone says “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays”?

I am not offended by either greeting and am more interested in knowing what you are doing to live the spirit of the season.

I find all the pressures to suppress Christmas offensive. It is astonishing that the vast majority of Americans have nothing to do with this suppression of Christmas, and nor do most want the perverted materialism pushed upon Christmas. Can we point the blame for materialism entirely upon corporations? To some extent, but it is those who control the media and the education system, as well as the legal profession who impose the sanctioning of Christmas. The first amendment state "OF religion", not "from" religion. It has long been clear to most Americans who hates Christmas, Christianity, and Christians, but we are sued constantly if we honestly state the fact of who it is. And it's not the agnostics, at least not the ones who descend from Christians. I am a liberal and an agnostic. I find all the pressures to suppress Christmas offensive.
