    I'm not even a Christian, but if I were American or been to the USA during that period, I'd most probably say Merry Christmas, 'cause that's tradition and that's what just about everyone's celebrating.

    Ansem... there's so much hate in you, it's really sad to see. I would've said it's infuriating, only as I've said, I'm not nearly Christian enough for it to get to me. I do suggest, however, that you tone down your ignorant and hateful remarks towards people's beliefs and the believers themselves. It creates a tense atmosphere, and doesn't help create an enviorment of 'free-thinking' as you might think.

    I do hope that if you raise a child, you will raise him hate-free and do not plant prejudice in his or her young heart. Such acts tend to be very disruptive later on in a kid's life.

    My friend was suspended for saying "Merry Christmas" on the announcements last year.
    That's illegal.

    if you don't celebrate Christmas, and someone says to you "Merry Christmas", I personally don't think one should be offended. It was all in good intent. But calling Christmas Trees "Holiday Trees" is just plain silly.
    I agree. It's not like if someone went up to me and said merry Christmas, I'd be all like "I don't celebrate Christmas, you Christian oppressing scum! DIEEE!". I'd probably smile and say thanks, and if I know them a bit, tell them about my own holiday. As for the trees... that's PC in all its glory. As far as I know, there are no other holidays in which trees as decorated and stuff, except Christmas, so calling Christmas trees 'holiday trees', like there's some other holiday that uses those trees, is awfully dumb.
