Merry Christmas?

OK, I just have to ask, is anyone here truly offended when someone tells them Merry Christmas? I did some shopping today and I was talking to a mall employee who said that a list went around the mall of which stores are not allowed to tell customers Merry Christmas. I'm astonished....I have never heard of anyone actually being offended by it. I know plenty of people who are not christian, or no religion at all, not religious, etc. who have no problem with christmas. When did Christmas become offensive?

I am not offended, but then, I am Christian.

I know that has been the "rule" in the work place for a couple of years, now.

It is absurd... But then again, anything "PC" is.

I was at a new client yesterday. The owners are VERY devout Muslims from Palestine. As I left, they wished me a Merry Christmas.

I then said I hope they had a fulfilling Ramadan.

That is just dumb. If I wished someone a "Merry Christmas" and in return they wished me a "Happy Ramadan" or "Eid" or "Hannukuh" (I'm sorry I'm sure I've spelled these things wrong) then I would be just as honoured if they had said Merry Christmas back.

I'm not offened by being wished Merry Christmas but I am offended by places who won't allow it. I won't shop at any store that won't let their people wish someone Merry Christmas.

I am so sick of all this PC crap. I have no problem with wishing people of other faiths Happy .... what ever there religions holiday is but want the same courtesy for my religion... Christianity.

Jen, it's not Christmas that's offensive to some, it's the CHRIST in it.

This country has become a huge society of whiners and complainers. I too am so sick of all things PC!!

I wish people could get thicker skinned and stop letting everything bother them. It's gotten to the point of being absolutely ridiculous. What kind of a lesson is this for our children? Are we raising generations of spineless, snotty nosed babies?
