So the stores have trees and presents and wrapping and bows and stuff. The radio and t.v. are playing Christmas music and shows. Why are people so afraid to say Merry Christmas to each other? P.C. bullshit. ?

SubscribeThis is EXACTLY what I do and I'm HAPPY to do it. Christ IS the Reason for the Season and it 'offends me' for any who are in denial of such.I make it a point to say Merry Christmas. If it irritates someone then it’s their loss imo.
Not everyone is a Christian, and those of us not in the amen pew find ourselves a little overwhelmed by the whole end of the year blitz. Generally, it's a holiday season, and we all see it a bit differently. Some Christians, really, some of every religion, get very territorial about things, and a hearty Merry Christmas may just bolster their mistaken impression that only one faith is the true one. I don't begrudge others their beliefs, but I draw the line at being beaten about the head with it.

Yep! I'll be airing my grievances at the range Christmas day. No, I don't hate Christmas but I spent all of the holidays from Thanksgiving-ish until the 28th of December in Hospice with my mother last year. It's not that I'm not dealing but it was pretty overwhelming and I need to swing the needle the other way so I'm taking a break and still wishing everyone I see a "Merry Christmas!"I say Happy Festivus!
Festivus looks promising. Especially the airing of grievances.
Merry Christmas! And a happy new year!Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas. And a happy new year. Happy holidays.Merry Christmas...,and happy holidays!
Merry Christmas. And a happy new year!YES, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I've said for long before the PC Bullsh***... that when you use you're free speech and all the freedoms we have you start to infringe on the rights of others weather you mean to or not so remember it goes both ways.
Don't be a wuss and suck it up if you get hurt feelings like those have done when you hurt their feelings. We're getting all bent out of shape over nothing, Life goes on
Maybe I came off wrong, so let me elaborate a little bit. Considering all that is happening here with us, I don't get out much. In truth, nor do I want to. But the few places I've had to go to lately, such as the bank and only a couple specific stores, are happy to have their "Christmas decorations" and hats and such all prominently displayed. Especially the stores that are "jamming the marketing down all of our throats". It is places like these, that are doing all that they can to reap any/all rewards of the consumerism where I "fire it right back" prominently. It seems though, that often there is a response of " and to you too..." or "yeah,,," or "--blank stare--".Not everyone is a Christian, and those of us not in the amen pew find ourselves a little overwhelmed by the whole end of the year blitz.

Now you AmeriYank's would say that they are "all about the Benjamin's" but up here it's all "Looney's an' Twonies".
You had learned me (Veer) long ago how to greet your fellow brethren properly. And I do such, often to the surprised look on their faces. Following conversations are always cordial and enthusiastic.
It seems that "so many others" beliefs are 'more important' and MUST be respected. (I won't mention the particularly predominant one, but let's just say that it is allegedly "peaceful") And so many things in our culture need to be/have been changed to 'respect' theirs.
At what cost?
I'm not about to relinquish my identity or beliefs just so that I can placate others. If businesses want to 'ride the coat-tails' and pander to my beliefs, then I can say "Merry Christmas" without being ostracized.
But at the same time, I never have, don't plan to today, and never will EVER go into a Synagogue, Temple, Wikiup, Ashram or Hall and push/say ANYTHING like this. That is not my place to do such. Though I don't have any problems going into any of these places, simply to learn, observe, and appreciate the basis of Beliefs.
That better, and clearer now?
Merry Christmas. And a happy new year!“She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.”
People didn’t have room in their hearts for Him then. Sad to say people still don’t have room for Him now.
“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.”
Merry Christmas.
I've actually shortened it to just "shitter's full". Hoping to save whatever time I can to get drinking faster.
