Ok, why do we have to be PC? I for one am tired of stores and people who say "Happy Holiday's" Just say Merry Christmas. What is wrong with people! Take a stand for a Christian Holiday. What's next, Easter?
@hannancandy Chritmas isn't a christian holiday and it is pronounced SA-TURN-ALIA! LOL, seriously look up the fucked up history of this drunken, drug induced, murderous, rapefest and then come back and explain why we should celebrate it as a national holiday! Under Pope Paul II he organized this festival where Jews were forced to run through the streets naked while the public pelted them with rocks. And then they would sacrafice some Jews and force them to give up their posessions (gift giving)!
Christmas isn't an American holiday, it's a Christian holiday, and it's one that takes place at the same time as a lot of other holidays celebrated by a lot of other religious groups. "Happy Holidays" is simply easier.
I do agree with Bill on this one. I'm atheist but I recognize Christmas is a tradition in the West. When people try to change a public expression of it because its offensive to them, that's bad. Christmas is the main belief over here. It doesn't hurt or oppress anyone, and if a Jewish person said Happy Hanukkah here or anywhere else to me, I wouldn't go "HEY how dare you say that, I'm not Jewish!" ...mainly because I'm not a douchebag who tries to censor people from expressing themselves.
It's not about censorship, it's about being accommodating to everyone. There are many, many groups who do not celebrate Christmas. It's just polite to say Happy Holidays. Most people wouldn't mind if you said "Merry Christmas."
Oh- and people were celebrating Winter thousands of years before they were celebrating Christmas. Christians moved Jesus' birth from April to December to capitalize on this because it was easier to convert the natives that way.
That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. How about instead of keeping Christ in Christmas, we keep Christ in Christian. Also, for those who don't already know it. CHRISTMAS IS NOT A CHRISTIAN HOLIDAY. It's a hijacked pagan holiday. So, Happy Holidays everyone.
Remember that part in the Bible where Jesus and the apostles decorated the Christmas tree and an exchanged materialistic stuff....
Yeah, it`s because it`s not there. Christians highjacked Winter Solstice and Norse mythology, I say we take it back in the name of Thor! May his mighty hammer crush the non-believers!
Not saying Happy Christmas but Happy Holidays is part of the secular progressive agenda to get Judaism out of the public square?
Is this Bill O'Reilly some sort of mental invalid? Jews don't celebrate Christmas! So saying Happy Holidays to a Jew actually makes more sense than saying Merry Christmas.
Learn about your own goddamn religion. I did, turned me into an atheist.
I keep reading "O'reilly is retarded", "O'reilly is an idiot", "Oreilly is a moron"....He is none of that....he is however a very cunning, deceitful, and completely evil person who has been given a voice on national television and radio.
Oh poor Bill. Stores are using a phrase that is all-encompassing in this diverse nation, so that must mean that they hate Jesus and they worship Satan and love Hitler and want gays to run abortion clinics.....am I getting that right?
If winter break is such an evil term, then why do we have fall break, spring break, and summer vacation? Seriously, O'Reilly is a paranoid freak. There is no secular progressive agenda. Stores say Happy Holidays because its inclusive. God forbid conservative America recognizes other holidays besides Christian ones. Sheesh.
It wasn't Arabs who sued to remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance - it was jews. It isn't Arabs who sue to remove nativity scenes from public venues - it is jews. It isn't Arabs who erect menorahs in public venues in place of crosses - it is jews. It wasn't Arabs who sued to remove group prayer from public schools - it was jews. It wasn't Arabs suing to remove decorative lights from schools at Christmas - it was jews.
if nothing else, this kind of FOX O'Relly crap is the kind of pandering to the stupid low class trash that made them so popular & succesful. Then he has a fellow FOX asshole Gibson come over to plug his written for the morons' book. This is what news is all about? Such crap the American people are junk news consumers
bill-o the clown is still at it? so many holidays quanza hanukkah, christmas you don't know what religon everyone is if only you could have a saying so all holidays would be included.. wait happy holidays it's all becoming clear now. you know bill-o if there was a "war on christmas" wouldent atheists attack happy holidays to? maybe the only war your fighting is tolerance
I know! It's funny how the "secular agenda" only applies to their religion, not even bringing up all the bashing of other religions done by Christianity (cough cough Iraq war)
What is worse, not saying Merry Christmas or forcing everybody else to say Merry Christmas because it is in line with your religious beliefs...
Who cares what people say? If they are happy and cheery and warm and fuzzy and thoughtful then why worry so damn much? That is the point of entire thing after all...
These rich white people think that christmas is the only holiday being celebrated. Happy Holidays includes everyone so it's much more polite. If someone told me Merry Christmas at a store I would say fuck you, how do you know I celebrate Christmas?
i think we should all look in the dictionary and ref. to "irony.n. 1. when bill o'reilly starts his segment on the war on christmas with 'this is stupid.'" john gibson is a joke of a human being. he would be living at home with his mom if FOX news didn't exist.
fucking bullshit. i dont really mind marry christmas just as much as i dont mind merry fake hobbit holiday. Both fake by the way. Fuck evangelical conservatives= intolerant, racist hypocrits. If jesus really existed he would punish them.
Drawing a correlation bewtween saying happy holidays and the eventual legalization of prostitution is a very wide stretch and is obviously being used here to frighten Americans into siding with Christianity in an effort to keep their daughters from becoming future cat house employees.
beedub245: I agree. I think FOX uses these leaping logic points often to steer the viewing audience towards an evangelical model society - at least in regarding holidays, political campaigns, what books to buy, etc.
Meaning we don't care if they wish us Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. Heck, I use both of those as well as Season's Greetings interchangeably. I use them each at least once.
