But it's annoying, it wears you down. Not so much the Merry Xmas, a week or so before. It's the decorations and music starting 4-6 weeks before. I have enough Xtian friends who are tired of that as well.

OK.... THAT was Funny!I was relaay proud of my youngest one time. He was about 8ish, never really been shy, and he answered one clerk with "my dad's too cheap to buy Xmas presents". The look on the lady's face was priceless.
And as we Christians incorporate the real reasons for the seasons in with the commercial mayhem (which, it can be argued, may be important to the social and psychological development of our children up to a certain age), some of us remain aghast at those who think we have NO idea what's really going on around us, that the date we celebrate Christmas was based around a pagan holiday, that not all those who celebrate the season or even those who call themselves Christian *act* like Christians at all.
"Happy Holiday" (sometimes performed as "Happy Holidays") is a popular song composed by Irving Berlin in 1942.
The song was first performed by Bing Crosby in the 1942 film Holiday Inn. In the context of the film, the song refers to holidays in general; however, it has come to be associated most commonly with the Christmas season (presumably due to its context).
I'm not at all surprised that you have it completely wrong, but as usual, you say it with authority and in as offensive a manner as possible. How you can twist every situation such that you are the victim astounds me.Any American who has a problem with mention of Christmas should contact their congressperson, Christmas is a federal holiday.I ind it interesting that anyone who opposed making Martin Luther King Jr's birthday a federal holiday were automatically racist, but, those who oppose Christmas are not anti-Christian and referring to them as so is insulting.
No..it's not "being offended with people saying Happy Holidays"...It's about the PC police/corporate/media/gvt entities who intentionally use "Happy Holidays" out of fear of "offending" anybody or who are bowing to pressures of vocal minority groups with an axe to grind against Christians (but seldom have issues with any other faith).
Same thing with the little "democrat/rep" joke. It's not about Democrats "being heathen" and I think that everybody knows it...it's about the silly semantic games people use.
Really, and that is why so many school districts have Christmas break and Easter break?Few people, if any, have a problem with the mention of christmas.
Oh for Pete's sake. Christmas is only one day. If the kids only got Christmas off, the calendar would likely say Christmas. But it's not just the day. It is, for most kids in the country, a two or three week break from school that encompasses both Christmas and New Years day... both Federal Holidays. Are you suggesting that we expand Christmas so that it's two weeks long? Would you be so completely butthurt if it were called New Year's Break?Really, and that is why so many school districts have Christmas break and Easter break?

So, if starting next year we started calling Memorial Day something like First holiday of summer, that wouldn't be offensive? Or, maybe we could call Martin Luther King Jr day "some guy who died day" not offensive? It is interesting to me that in your little world Christians are never allowed to be offended, only offensive?
I know I shouldn't respond. It's a character flaw, but sometimes I just can't let something go. I'm much more laid back than I was 10 years ago. Maybe in another 10 years I'll have the wisdom and the willpower to ignore all the bait.Forgive us, Oh Lord, for we know not what we say.
:deadhorse Indeed.
