I do not understand why people are offended by others who wish to celebrate their holiday of choice, and why is it offensive to them if someone says "Merry Christmas"? I celebrate Christmas, but would not be offended if I walked in somewhere and saw other types of holiday symbols, like a menorah or kinara. I think that if someone is celebrating something and wants to wish you greetings then you should just accept them and go on. If someone came in our office and said "Happy Hannukah" to me I would not run out offended and throw a fit. I would say "the same to you and a Merry Christmas, too" and go on with my day. And I think that people who celebrate Hannukah and Kwanza probably feel the same way. So, why has it become so offensive to people for all of us to publically celebrate our holidays? And why should the people who chose not to celebrate anything get to dictate where decorations and expressions of these holidays can be displayed? Why does it bother you so much?
