it's just polite to say Happy Holidays, unless you are saying Merry Xmas to someone who you KNOW is Christian and celebrates it. But if you guys wanna be *******s, be my guest.

It has ****ing nothing to do with politness!

If someone gets offended by hearing merry christmas, maybe they should get a ****ing life. Or happy Hanukka, or what ever! It's PC BS, the worst case example, exibit A, and all that PC stands for.

Polite is to say 'thank you' to it, if you're not christian.

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas- in whatever fashion they choose to recognise it.
Except for this person, because as a good Christian, they won't be celebrating.


"
CONCLUSION

Having looked into the facts of the festival and its history, it seems only too clear that what we know as ‘Christmas’ is a thinly disguised version of the pagan celebrations known as Yule or Saturnalia, which themselves are leftovers from even more ancient and sinister satanic rites rejoicing in the death and resurrection of his substitute messiah.

Even as late as Victorian times, the base elements of the festival - the Yule Log, the goose, the kissing bough and the superstitious customs pervading every area of Christmas and its associated feast days - were an eloquent testimony to the true meaning of Christmas. It is only on our own day, the day of plastic snowmen and fairy lights, that this meaning has been obscured.

But it has not been lost. An increasing number of those who are ‘in the know’ are secretly rejoicing at the honour given to the pagan Antichrist under the cover of pretty and innocent ceremonies, and as time goes on we can expect the revival of the more blatantly idolatrous practises, for satan never wastes an opportunity when the Church is unawares.

Satan has always been the master of deception and his works take place in the darkness of ignorance. Often that darkness is disguised by seemingly delightful and enjoyable things - the television magician who smilingly entertains us with his psychic ability; the exciting children’s games of dragons and witches; the sugar-sweet alien ‘ET’, who is preparing the world to revere and trust incarnate demons in the endtimes.

[Note: this booklet was written in 1984 - since then films and children's games have moved even further into the occult!]. "

yeah me too... this is not about hating christmas (I love it)... I just want people to be less ignorant and realize that everyone might not celebrate Xmas and it's polite to acknowledge that.

It's the same way I hate it when ppl say "god bless america"... GOD BLESS EVERYONE *******S, NOT JUST AMERICA

No, it's polite to say thank you and not get insulted by something so meaningless, what is not meant as an insult. Tight up people.
