Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

All ACLU supporters need not reply.

Tis the season to be jolly - but - if you want a debate about celebrating a Christian holiday by saying "Merry Christmas" in a business establishment, then I suggest M1911 45 cal Semi-autos at twenty paces.

This country was made great because (not in spite) of it's celebration of a Christian ethic.

If you have a major problem with this I suggest you move to a country where this problem doesn't arise (preferably immediately - don't pollute the air I breath with your doodoo one moment longer than is absolutely necessary).

Just because someone doesnt say Merry Chirstmas doesnt mean their a commie, it means their not Christian. I dont know why people have a problem with NOT saying Merry Chirstmas its just not Christian and not all people are Christian. Besides you spelt Christmas wrong in your picture.

DOH!

Because I have the legal right to celebrate CHRISTMAS. Everywhere I go, I see the words "Happy Hanukkah" and "Happy Kanazawa". But never "Merry Christmas"! Why is it that evey other holiday can be said, printed, and celebrated in public, but Christmas can't? Please Answer me that question.

And lastly...

The United States of America is 52% Protestant, 24% Roman Catholic, 2% Mormon, 1% Jewish, 1% Muslim, 10% other, and 10% none. And yet people are saying that Christian Belief is insulting the majority. How I ask is that happening when the majority is Christian. Can someone please inform me?

Also, Xmas means Christmas. It is old as time. It is derived from the word ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ, transliterated as Christos, which is Greek for Christ. Greek is the language in which the whole New Testament was written.

It would appear things have changed a LOT back home in the last four years.

In India which is not a Christian majority nation, everyone celebrates Christmas and it is also called "Bara Din" (Big Day).

None hesitate to wish each other "Merry Christmas".

There is a lot of festivity and gopod cheer which lasts till the New Years Day.

Therefore, what is all this "Happy Holiday"?

Even President Bush in the last Press Conference (yesterday) wished all 'Happy Holiday".

How ridiculous can one get?

Well as the President of the Country, that was a safe bet. Happy Holidays instead of just christmas he wished everyone a merry. whatever they celebrate. I dont see how it offends the majority, maybe the minority.
