i agree i think its rediculous
first off the official language of the country is english, its not like i have anything against immigrants or anything but they need to learn english like everyone else, my mom was an immigrant from poland and she learned english and never complained
and i think the happy holiday thing is stupid too, for starters most of theUS population celebrates christmas
then there is this small select group that gets offened over nothing, they act like they are being deprived of their rights or something and they arent
Christians and other people who celebrate christmas arent asking anyone to take down their decorations or stop practicing their beliefs so they need to stop asking us to do so
i hope i didnt offend anyone because that wasnt my intension
Have a blessed and safe Christmas

Because our liberal standards of political correctness we cannot formally adopt English as our official language. Also, we cant say Merry Christmas because the Jewish people may get offended, or the Atheists.

sadly the whats up with pressing one for English is because we have so many damn Hispanics in the us now that aren't learning English that sadly we need English and Spanish. the happy holidays is because not every one celebrates Christmas people celebrate Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. some of us celebrate Yule ! HAPPY HOLIDAYS everyone !!!!!!!! ~*~Blessed Be~*~

Does that mean that I should say Merry Christmas!? I was going to say, Feliz Navidad, however no matter how it is said, I hope that you do have a great Christmas!
