But is should matter to them because it matters to YOU? Well, pardon us!
but you don't have jurisdiction over EVERYTHING. Welcome to fucking reality where, in fact, you have to share the world with others who don't share your faith. The world is not something for you dogma junkies to burn a jesus brand into just because you feel like peeing on territory. sorry to burst your bubble.
how does a retail greeter that says happy holidays extract the jesus from YOUR personal christmas experience? Should we all dress up like the fucking nativity scene before stepping out into public between dec. 12 and Jan1? Should we all be forced to recite the customary "peace be with you" instead of any other greeting just because you seem to need actors to validate your faith? Let's trade that turkey for some wine and crckers and feast on some blood of christ just because YOU don't think the world is saturated with christianity. We can force all other non-english speaking americans to speak in tongues instead of their primary language and make any newborn that pops out of a vagina during the entire season sleep in mangers. in barns. You know, anything less would be an obvious incitement of a war on christmas....
Once again, missing the point. I'm not saying it should matter to you just because it matters to me. I'm saying . . . you don't see the disappearance of Christmas from the mainstream because it isn't important to you.
With the percentage of christians in this country, Christmas is hardly disappearing.
I think its just good manners to wish people a happy holiday if you don't know what they're celebrating.
My sentiments exactly but I would be even more careful and say "Season's Greetings".

When the weathermen put up their weather calendar during this time of year and Hanukah rolls around they put a picture of a menorah on the calendar. When Christmas rolls around they put up a picture of Santa, candy canes, maybe a tree. But they never put up a picture of baby Jesus in a manger, even though that is what the celebration of the day is about for 85% of the population. But I'm not suppose to notice or be offended. Changing it to 'holiday tree', calling it a 'holiday parade', no sign of Jesus anywhere on the horizon for fear of offending those who don't believe yet . . . offending the vast majority of those who do believe.

"The generality of Christmas-keepers observe that festival after such a manner as is highly dishonourable to the name of Christ. How few are there comparatively that spend those holidays (as they are called) after an holy manner. But they are consumed in Compotations, in Interludes, in playing at Cards, in Revellings, in excess of Wine, in mad Mirth ..."
- Reverend Increase Mather, 1687
Is seeing jesus on television and in the stores essential to your religious beliefs? That's what I don't understand. How does someone else's acknowledging your religious beliefs or not affect your ability to practice it? It shouldn't.
Who ever said we wanted jurisdiction over everything? How is 'Merry Christmas' burning a Jesus brand into things?
What is this obession with retail greeters? If someone wishes me 'happy holiday' I return the greeting with "Merry Christmas'. I am extending a Merry Christmas because that's what I believe; I am not offended by someone saying happy holidays, happy Hanukah. I am offended when this is the only greeting that is stated for fear of hurting someone's feelings. Are you so insecure in your non-Christianity that you would be offended if someone said Merry Christmas to you? Yet you don't think it should be included in any type of greeting, only 'happy holidays' because that's what you believe?
Yes I know, your argument is 'happy holidays' covers everything and everyone. What you don't see, again because it isn't important to you, that by elminiating the word 'Christmas' you are lumping it into the generic, catch all category of holiday. Please spare everyone the 'but it started out pagan not holy' blather; Christmas today is a Holy day and by implying it is nothing more than a holiday you de-emphasize Christmas as a religious celebration and reduce it's importance. You trivialize it. Sorry to burst your bubble but that just won't do.

I see Christmas being replaced with holiday and someday there may be a generation that has no idea there ever was Christmas on mainstreet. In light of the fact that 85% of the country is Christian, how is this ok? Why is it ok for the 15% who are not Christian to force their view of the world on the 85% of those who are Christian? Why not have signs in stores saying 'Merry Christmas' and 'Happy Holidays' and 'Happy Hanukah'? If you want to be all inclusive then stop excluding Christmas.
BTW, you are such an angry basement cat. Is this how you look, cause it's sure how you sound. I hope you eat some holiday fowl as it may improve your disposition.
A worker died after being trampled and a woman miscarried when hundreds of shoppers smashed through the doors of a Long Island Wal-Mart Friday morning, witnesses said.
The unidentified worker, employed as an overnight stock clerk, tried to hold back the unruly crowds just after the Valley Stream store opened at 5 a.m.
Witnesses said the surging throngs of shoppers knocked the man down. He fell and was stepped on. As he gasped for air, shoppers ran over and around him.
"He was bum-rushed by 200 people," said Jimmy Overby, 43, a co-worker. "They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me. They took me down too...I literally had to fight people off my back."
Only a few stopped.
"They're savages," said shopper Kimberly Cribbs, 27. "It's sad. It's terrible."
I can't find the dates for Christmas or Easter in the Bible, why is that?
