I am offended, that so few people can make everybody else do what they want them to, to forward their agenda. America is still a predominantly Christian country where 77% of the population great each other with the words Merry Christmas at this time of year. The survey does not state how many of the remaining 27% are actually offended by the words being said to them. I’m willing to bet the the number is remarkable small, that many of those using alternative greetings are only doing so to be politically correct. I am sick and tired of being politically correct, and I am also tired of being told that Christians should be dealing with bigger issues, that we shouldn’t infringe on others freedoms, and that we should be filled with love, love, love. It’s about time Christians started standing up for our rights, and stop letter small hate filled groups take them away from us.

Does it really matter whether someone says “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays”? 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?

This “controversy” is truly nonsense in these troubling times. i would hope those involved would remember the spirit of the Christmas/holiday season and worry more about how we come together as a community and Nation to solve the overwhelming challenges before us. 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 am a liberal and an agnostic. 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.

Merry Christmas (100% of the time).

Our country celebrates the Christ Mass, like it or not.

So to you and your family, may you have a Merry Christmas.
