Because activist groups like the ACLU have managed to take God out of our schools, government, media and everything else. Now they are trying to take Him our of His own birthday celebration. Why? Because we as Christians for some reason just sit by and watch these basic rights being taken away from us without doing anything about it or taking any action to prevent it. It should not be frowned upon to say "Merry Christmas"! Christmas is just that - Christmas, the celebration of Christ's birth! If people don't like it or are offended by that fact, then they just need to ignore it because as a Christian, I am entitled to exercise MY constitutional rights to have my freedom of speech and religion by saying Merry Christmas, praying in school, or in public. It's dumb - everything that this country was founded on - freedom of religion and the freedom to worship God - is going down the drain and with it, so is our country. Don't believe it? Just look at what's happening in our schools with the shootings - without God there is chaos - they took God out of our school systems and government and in those places, there is chaos and confusion. It's just plain wrong and sad if you ask me.

Well put. What was put in the Constitution was the desire to avoid having gov't shove religion down citizens throats. Christian Fundamentalists want to revert, and void the Constitutional separation of Church and State. The problem is having Christians be less interested in the Constitution than pushing their faith. It would be better to ask someone from each faith to say a prayer, so all must be tolerant.

It's frowned upon because people want demoralized and de Christianize our nation. They want to make it a place without values. Very sad, we have ot accept Muslims holidays and Gay agenda's but we are encouraged to stifle our own beliefs because they might be politically Uncorrect!!! Well, just take a look at Europe and what they have to show for being so correct, a huge muslim population getting special rights! Very sad...anyway:
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Well now governmet or whatevr is trying to take Christ out of everything including Christmas, which the real meaning of Christams is Christ's Birth. I think it's so stupid and they want to get technical and everthing but if we wanted to do that too, we would have our freedom of speech so we can say whatever we want. I think it's tstupid that all people want out of Christmas is just presents or a big dinner or whatever, it's supposed to be celebrating Christ's Brith! It just makes me so mad. And you know what, if I wanna say Merry Chirstmas I can so:
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!

It is only frowned on by PC adherents and by people that work in multi-cultural environments.
The thing to remember is that we have many cultures in the US and not all of them celebrate the same holidays. By saying Happy Holidays, you're including any and all of the holidays that occur around this time.

Because people just need something to complain about! Some are just anal that way. So in my yearly tradition of pissing people off that don't like it here it is..........
Merry Christmas, Yule Tidings, Happy Candlemas, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Kwanzaa, Happy Festivus, and if you don't like that then "HAPPY HOLIDAYS" now you have no reason to complain and move on.

It's just urban legend that "Merry Christmas" is frowned upon.

Because of the word Christ being in Christmas. The liberals want to remove religion from everything.

Because some people who aren't Christian or religious get offended by the phrase because it has "Christ" in it. I think it's rather petty. If I was in Isreal, I would expect everyone to greet me with "Happy Hanakkuh", and I wouldn't get offended even though I'm not Jewish. Sheesh.

Many things that are free to say are frowned upon.
