[QUOTE="donna723, post: 489324, member: 1883"] I don't know why people make such a big deal out of this! Personally, I'm just glad that people are nice enough to wish me a "Happy ([I]anything[/I])". They [I]could have[/I] glared at you and said "Go &%!# yourself!", you know! And I don't think there is anything "unChristian" about the expression, "Happy Holidays". Do some people just [I]look[/I] for things to be offended by? Certainly there is nothing wrong with wishing your Christian friends a "Merry Christmas" if you know they celebrate Christmas or wishing Jewish friends a "Happy Hanukkah", but "Happy Holidays" takes it all in. And refusing to shop in stores that wish their customers "Happy Holidays" is [I]RIDICULOUS[/I]! Retailers are smart enough to know that several major religions have holidays that are celebrated at this time of year and they cater to [U]all[/U] of their customers, not just one group. Why do some people have to interpret this as an insult against Christianity? These people must live very small, very self-centered, very sheltered lives. They obviously don't realize that there is a whole big world out there and that not everyone believes as they do! [/QUOTE]
