Is it fair that people are trying to get christians to say "holiday tree and happy holidays" instead of "christmas tree and merry christmas"????.. imean.. it's not like they expect jews to say "holiday menorah" instead of "hannukah menorah".... like we're supposed to have religious freedom right?? it's in the constitution.

You have the right to exercise your freedom of religion based on the Constitution of the United States, and you do have the right to say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to anyone.

Chill, Dude. I'm going to say it whatever way I want to say it. If the PC police don't like it, they can lick my licorice.
Sure PC has gone out of control in the country, but that doesn't mean I have to buy into it. Some of it does make sense. A prayer in school led by anyone is & should be a no no. Calling it a year end or holiday break when school is closed is reasonable.A Honnuhka display in the park is reasonable, to me, if I can also put up a Grinch one.

Between the Democrats, the liberals, the ACLU and the activist judges, the atheists and radical Islam, we Christians are systematically being denied our constitutional right to practice our religion freely. Christianity is under attack the way it used to be during the Roman Empire. it is appalling that this should be happening in the United States of America in the 21st century. Isn't this a symptom to look for at the end of the world along with many others? Let us pray for this country because the liberals are taking it down the wrong path.

Yeah thats stupid.
I mean take me for example, I'm Hindu I say Happy Diwali and I say Merry Christmas and happy halloween and happy thanksgiving and everything else...my son and I just finished putting up our Christmas tree and decorating it. I mean come on its the holidays and it is what it is. December 25th is Christmas which is the day Jesus Christ was born. I deal with people over the phone everyday and I always say Merry Christmas and if they are any other religion and don't like it they can very well KISS MY AS.S!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!!

This whole "politically correct" bullshitt has gotten WAY out of hand.
Who could possibly be offended by someone wishing them a "Merry Christmas"?
If I wished someone a Merry Christmas and he responded by wishing me a "Happy Chanukkah"...SO WHAT?? It's the thought that counts.
From my viewpoint.....this is an assault on Christianity going on in our country. Slowly but surely the ACLU and certain factions are trying to remove any mention of Jesus...Christmas....prayer....the Bible....and the Ten Commandments from our lives. They've started by removing Christ from Christmas.
The only time you see mention of Jesus and Christmas is when some liberal Hollywood actors are making fun of them on TV in some demeaning way.......or some Greenwich Village type artist has a crucifix upside down in a jar of urine......or a painting of the Blessed Virgin done in cow manure....or Jesus portrayed in movies and plays as a homosexual or a pedophile.
THAT'S OK.......and if you try to stop those types of insulting acts.....YOU are branded "judgemental"..."narrow minded"...or a Nazi.
I wonder why we don't see these same artists and actors portraying Mohammed in a jar of urine......Or painted in pig manure? Hmmmmm......I wonder why? Because there is definitely an anti-Christian agenda in this country.
Well.....screw political correctness and the Christian haters......MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I'm Jewish & I have no problem with "Christmas Tree". That's what it is. I wish my Christian friends merry Christmas.

When are you guys going to get over your paranoia? Alright already.
Would it help if you thought of holiday as holy day, and holiday tree as holy tree. Would that soothe the hurt feelings?

Actually the tree belongs to us. The christians stole it. The pagans were the first ones to have a "Christmas tree." You don't see fir trees growing in the desert do you? No where in the bible does it mention it. It is a Yule tree.

What people? Who's trying to get Christians to do anything? (Other than stop whining about non-existent persecution, that is).
Call it what you want, just stop complaining when others choose to call it something different, and we'll all get along, right?
