If you're Christian do you care if I tell you Happy Hannukha, vice versa?
If you're Athiest would mind me saying "God bless you" when you sneeze?
If you're gay do you mind me calling things gay that I destest?
You may elaborate and go on to say what else offends me.
I personally am offend when some one tell me "Enjoy!" I don't want to be forced to enjoy anything.

Things like Happy Hannukha does'nt offend me.It's meant as a friendly holiday greeting. Just as Christians say Merry Christmas.And if it offends an Atheist when i say "God Bless you" when someone sneezes.....Oh well, get over it. We got over it when you did'nt say the Lord's prayer.Or pledge allegiance to the flag. What does offend me(and i guess it's a personal conviction). Is instead of Christmas people and places use xmas.

"God Bless You" does not offend me .
What does offend me is people who never had a political thought
enter their head-now think they are politically correct when they
wish me "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas". That's the only "Happy" that I'm offended by , because that tells me a lot about the person. I don't find "political correctness" to be an appropriate Christmas greeting .
"Enjoy" is another one that is equivalent to chalk going the wrong way on a chalk board .What do you say to that ? "Oh, that's a good idea"..
Neither am I offended by Happy Hanukkah . I wonder why the politically correct crowd hasn't changed that one yet , too .

No, hearing someone say to me "Happy Hanuka" would not bother me at all. I am not really christian, but that is besides the point.
Personally, I do not see why people (mainly catholics as far as I know) get so offended by "Happy Holidays". It's like they sincerely think EVERYTHING is about them somehow.

As a Christian, Happy Hannukha is cool with me. I love the Jewish culture. They believe in God, and are generally loving people.
How about "Hope you enjoy!"? Hopefully people's words don't really force you to do things.

Everyone is entitled to follow whatever religion they wish. Someone saying Happy Hannukah to me would not offend me although I am Catholic.
The same goes for opinions. If you detest something and call it gay, that is your opinion and it shouldn't offend anyone.
Enjoy your night!!!

I'm a Christian, and no I would not be offend if you said happy Hanuka to me. I have family members, and friends that are Jewish.

No, not at all. All those things are said in kindness and just to be nice and friendly. They shouldn't offend anyone.

The polite thing to do would be to say thank you....and appreciate the fact that a person meant to say/do something nice and not be an asshole about it. :~)
