I think people take holidays WAY too seriously. On both sides.

That is dispicable.

You say that, but your lack of changing it only shows deep down you love the dirty feeling it gives you.

Bender: Ah! Nothing like a warm fire and a Super Soaker of fine cognac.
Fry: Yeah, it really puts you in the Christmas spirit.
Farnsworth: What-mas?
Fry: Christmas. You know? X-M-A-S.
Leela: Oh, you mean Xmas. You must be using an archaic pronunciation. Like when you say "ask" instead of "aks".

Although I'd probably feel differently if I had been raised Jewish, Muslim, or Hindu, but as a Christian-turned-atheist, I really can't say that I mind.

Nah, and I can only speak for myself...but I don't think people of other religions in Christian-majority places would be bothered about something like this. If say...it was Merry Christmas in Muslim-majority Pakistan or even India, then they might mind, but since that doesn't really happen anyway, I don't see what the problem is. :O_O:

Haha I remember that. Brilliant.

OOC:

No, I was at work and could not do so, but thank you for reminding for the need to have to go to a site that I rarely frequent and where I will have to try out my full gammot of passwords in order to get logged in so that I may change my theme when Iwill not even be doing any posting.

...and may the person who changed it in the first place roast in ach ee double ell.

[yingyang]

haha.. i just saw that futurama episode.. hilarious.

I can only think to say that I don't hear of any other religion besides christian-ish religions having tree's.. so I think the trees should still be called Christmas trees.

And I too always said 'Happy Holidays' to include everyone and New Years.

Yeah.. I started the trend before it was popular. You know me...

[Giga Guess]

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

HAPPY CHRISTMANNAKWANZAA!

Seriously though....I really think there's a group of people meeting in a basement somewhere saying "So what can we get our panties in a twist about this week?"

UGAsavage: If I see you use the word <i>fag</i> or <i>faggets</i> in such a way again I will be very angry and you don't want to make me angry.

NOT if I get him first!

Why do you think religious groups are mad, when it was the anti-religious groups that came up with such crap as "holiday trees"?

It's dumb. Stupid political correctness "lets go out of our way to never offend anybody, except white male conservative Christians" crap. I'll say "Merry <!--F***in'-->[leeza]*snip*[/leeza] Christmas", and if you don't like it, kiss my ass.*

*In a figurative sense of the phrase, of course.

[leeza]Figurative or not, don't go around the filter. I believe you have been already been asked this before. ~ Leeza[/leeza]

EDIT: I don't remember ever "going around the filter" before, and I didn't realize typing only the first letter was equal to typing the entire word, but my mistake. I'll replace or fully type out the two words that are filtered out.

[Raistlin]

YOU can say Christmas all you want; it's the fact that government and places supported by government can't constitutionally endorse one specific religion over any other. Which would make this a very valid claim, except that Christmas is a federal holiday, and can be federally endorsed without endorsing Christianity. Most Americans don't celebrate Christmas in a religious sense, anyway.
