Thank you, need to get the brain working again lol, i get it now. I cannot say i have ever come across this myself,some people will get offended at anything i guess.

LOL,
I have a bad habit of being Anti-anti Christmas.

I try to treat cashiers and sales people with respect and politeness, but when they act stupid and begin to give you the anti-Christmas attitude I sometimes get into trouble.

I'd get my change and mutter something profane if they gave me any guff for telling them "Merry or Happy".

FWs are the same people who Kum Bah Ya for world peace, but they cannot drop the pretense of their bitterness for a few weeks out of the year.

They are offended by you wishing them a happy holiday season.

I am offended they are offended.

And I let them know.

I am saying Merry Christmas this year to all. The patients, people at the stores, neighbors whom ever, be they black, white, green or plaid. If you don't like it, frankly I don't give a fig.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I celebrate Christmas, many do not. I try my derndest to be sensitive to what someone's religion might be. If in doubt, and I often am, I either ask what they celebrate, and go from there, or, wish them a happy holiday.

To me, I wouldn't wish someone a happy birthday if it weren't their birthday anymore than I would wish everyone a Merry Christmas, if they don't celebrate that holiday.

If I want my greeting to be sincere, it should reflect the beliefs of the person upon whom I am bestowing it on, right? Not mine...otherwise, you would wish yourself a Merry Christmas. LOL.

I always say Happy Holidays to strangers.
That way I cover all my basis.
If I know them, them I wish them whatever Holiday they celebrate.

I do not see why people should care eitherway.

I won't shop at any store that refuses to use Merry Christmas or have Christmas trees. Sorry Holiday Trees just doesn't cut it for me. It's not that I'm offended by someone wishing me a Happy Holiday. It's the fact people are going over board to toss Christ out of his own holiday.

You can't even hear any Christmas music any more that even remotely hints at the real reason for the season.

I don't get offened by other people's religions or lack there of. So, why do they get offened by mine?

I did get wished as Happy Father's day once. Something I was never ever expecting to be wished. I thought it was funny.
