All these Christians right now are trying to force stores like Wal-Mart to say Merry Christman rather than Happy Holidays. I am perfectly fine with calling Dec 25 what ever you want. However, if you guys get to say Merry Christmas to non-Christians, then Jews should be allowed to say happy hanukkah to Christians without them getting offended. And Muslims should be allowed to say whatever the celebrate without Christians and jews getting offended. And atheists should be allowed to say happy holidays without anyone getting offended.

That's the point. To create "rules" that prevent one from uttering "Merry Christmas" is a slap in the face, just as surely as passing "rules" that would prevent one from uttering "Happy Hannukkah" or that makes mention of Kwanzaa. One would be considered anti-semitic, one would be considered racially motivated to suppress black traditions, and one is not only accepted, but has even been mainstreamed. Therein lies the problem.

Firstly, true Christians do not celebrate December 25 as being Christmas or the true birthday of Christ.
He was born when shepherds were keeping their flocks out of doors and he died on by the Jewish calendar on Nisen 14 which is by our American calendar, late March, early April. If you count back 6 months from this time it comes out to about October 1 which makes sense with the scriptures of the time Jesus was born...while shepherds were keeping their flocks out of doors, not in the blistering cold of winter.
True Christians do not celebrate PAGAN holidays, so if you will please take us out of the mix. The rest of the false religions celebrate an array of pagan holidays because they do not mind living the lie.
Also, why would anyone want to celebrate a Pagan holiday with a fat white man in a fat red suit who shows up precisely at 12:Midnight at every little boy and girl's home slamming down choco-chip cookies and huge tumblers of milk, delivering presents down a dirty, sooty chimney that this fat man can't even fit down? This pagan garbage also represents greed every year, and selfishness.
True Christians do not celebrate lies and greed.
Hope this has helped.

Oh oh I got an idea, they should have them say, " Have a Happy Merry Christmas Hanukkah Holiday" There are in alphabetical order so it fair.

sure, if someone wishes me a Happy Hannukah I'll smile genuinely and wish them a very Merry Christmas!

To be honest, it's entirely up to Walmart. If they want to say "Happy Holidays", that's their perogative, it's a PR thing anyway, not just PC overload.
