Absolutely not!! I am offended when people say Happy Holidays! We are celebrating Christmas - the birth of Jesus Christ. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! People who are saying Happy Holidays are either not celebrating the true meaning of Christmas or are trying to appease those who don't celebrate Christmas. If you aren't celebrating the birth of Jesus, then you shouldn't celebrate Christmas at all.......

NO so I'll say Merry Christmas that is what it is! Santa says HO! HO! HO! the tree is a Christmas Tree! and some mis -guided unlearned person who has no concept of what Christmas is, wants to take my Merry Christmas, Christmas Tree , And Santa's HO!HO!HO! isn't going to happen! The only way this can happen is if we sit back and allow it. I'm tired of ignorant unlearned ,and least worthy of any attention cry babies who wants their beliefs forced down my throat. It will not happen! I would suggest if they don't like it here move to another country where they execute their type. Other then that have a Very Merry Christmas filled with Happiness, Health ,Wealth beyond your wildest dreams, and remember to pray for our troops, and light a candle for those who can't be with us.

No. As I see it , well adjusted people see the intent.
If someone said Happy "what ever other winter holiday" to me, I would say "thank you. I hope you have a great holiday too. "
If someone took offense to Merry Christmas, I would just say, "I'm sorry what I mean is I hope you have a great holiday how ever you celebrate."

no, its too exhausting having to remember to not offend people...i am christian and say merry christmas, and if someone doesn't like it thats too bad...at this point everyone should understand that people aren't a mind reader and do not know what religion people practice

I say Happy Holidays.
I am almost offended when people say Merry Christmas now. I celebrate Christmas, but so many people around me do not and I feel badly for them. I don't want them to be offended or left out.

Only to those who are Jewish. I have really only ever met one person who I knew was Jewish. We are becoming too politically correct. It is Christmas time. That is what we celebrate.

Not in the least. It's a greeting and a wish for happy times.
