As I'm in the Festivus camp, Happy Holidays, but I don't really care what you say to me as long as it's not prosthelytizing and annoying.

When do we get to the "airing of the grievances"? I've got a lot of problems with you people.

I wouldn't get offended if someone wished me Happy Hanukkah or Kawaanza or Winter Solstice or whatever holiday that brings them and theirs together this time of year. More power to 'em.

People that get offended by others wishing them Happy Holidays (rather than Merry Christmas) are ridiculous.

Happy Holiday is OK with me if you are saying a general greeting to people you don't know as it is inclusive. it isn't about being PC or anything else, it just includes all inthe greeting. if it is to those you know, then address your greeting on what you know is what they celibrate and most will greet you back with what they know you celibrate. I think people make such a big deal over this every year. if you are one of those pushy "Merry Christmas, I don't care about you or what you celibrate", like you are taking some kind of stand, it seems like you really missed the whole Christmas thing yourself anyway. so Merry Christmas to all it applies to and Happy Hoilday to all of you it doesn't. I think saying it with real wishes for good is what really matters.

I think the vast majority of the population doesn't care what you say, they're just glad you took the time to say something. The only people complaining are the ones who go through life trying to figure out who is persecuting them next.

I just say you too no matter which they say to me ... hate the stupid game everybody plays with that stuff. My mom is a die hard Merry Christmas person and gets almost offended if someone says Happy Holidays to her. Just defeats the whole point of the holidays in my mind to get upset over a greeting.

What they said!

Festivus for the rest of us!
