Let's play What are the Religious groups mad at THIS month!

Well, it does make sense to say "Happy Holidays", since there are multiple holidays in this month, but "Holiday Trees"? :erm:

Maybe it's just me, but I thought "happy holidays" was started along time ago, to also include New Years, considering New Year's is like a week after christmas...and you don't see most people often enough to wish them happiness for both.

I'm no christian, but I still think it's silly. Christmass isn't a religious holiday anymore (for most) anyways, so there's no reason to change it. None will make me say holiday tree instead of christmass tree, thats for sure.

Burn them all, I say. Burn them all.

Your signature is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

Holiday tree is SO dumb. I'm an atheist and I'm not pissy about Christmas or Hannukah or Kwanza or whatever. :)

I agree with Raistlin, though the "War on Christmas" is crap.

On the one hand, Christian are but a tiny sect that celebrate Christmas. On the other hand, there are other holidays celebrated in winter, usually by sects that don't celebrate Christmas.

So while I don't think anyone really cares (except, of course, the Christians), I can also see the reasoning behind changing it.

Happy Holidays is still religous- it means 'Happy Holy Days'. It's as meaningful as Christmas is!

Obviously someone cared in previous 'holiday' seasons to make the change in the first place.

The 'war' on christmas probably took place ages ago, so it's about time that it gets a reversal going on, and as a christian, I'm rather glad it is ^_^

War on christmas?? Don't make me lol.
