Once again, my friends are sending me emails forwarded from some American Family (nutjob) group, who seems to be all worked up about the saying of Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. I know tons of liberals and have asked them about this and they've ALL said they couldn't care less about your personal choice of greetings. Why do these religious creeps keep forcing this issue?

think it is to blankety blank early for Christmas in the first place. after all we have not had Halloween or Thanksgiving yet. please forgive me but Christmas is just to much greed in my opinion and most people forget the reason for the season. I know what I would like to tell them but I would be censored and in trouble.

Here is an answer from one of those "religious creeps": it's good that ppl get to practice their own religion in America. Freedom is a beautiful thing. But Christmas is a Christian holiday which celebrates Jesus's birth; it's not abt giving & getting presents.
"Merry Christmas" isn't allowed on signs, gift bags, etc., but if you're celebrating Christmas, you should be celebrating Christ's birth.
That's like celebrating your birthday but not allowing ppl to say "Happy Birthday" to you... kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
That's why we care so much. We don't want to leave Christ out of a holiday which celebrates HIM

Who cares. They can send whatever card they want. If their issue is the ads in/for stores, pfft, then their too stupid to realize they're whining for their religion to be even more co-opted into a commercial.

I prefer "Solstice Greetings" myself, since the solstice is the reason for the season.
