Being politically correct is so totally over rated. I think it is really funny that there is not question of Political Correctness when someone says Happy Hanukkah or Kwanzaa. It is wrong that you only hear crap when you mention Christmas. It is not politically correct for my child to say a prayer in school but it is ok for other children to wear their religious head covering to school? I do not see how that is right at all. If you are going to stop my child from saying a prayer in the class room then you better damn well rethink letting other children show there religion too. If we are going to be Politically correct then it better apply to every one and not just those of us who practice Christianity. I still say Merry Christmas cause I am a Christian and I still believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior.

I would prefer saying the traditional 'Merry Christmas' but the term 'Happy Holidays' is more universal.. Check out amazing gift ideas, info, unique ideas and suggestions at this Christmas Blog at http://christmas4all.blogspot.com

Merry Christmas, cause it's Christmas and I celebrate it. Same reason I would say Happy Valentines Day or Happy New Years.

I say Merry Christmas to everyone, but if I think someone may be offended or maybe if I think (or know) they don't celebrate Christmas, I say Happy Holidays.
