The fact that this is what people, both Christians and secularists, consider persecution in this country just shows just how far we all have our heads up our ásses.
I've been criticized because I send "Happy Holiday" or "Season's Greetings" cards. I find it insane as I send and receive cards from people of multiple religions (their cards are similar). Why would I exclude people? When I'm "called out" on saying it or sending it, I simply explain that as a Christian I believe that everyone should be included in the joy of the season and that Jesus wasn't into excluding people.
I never have either. I think most sensible people recognize when I say "Merry Christmas" that it is a way for me to wish them well this time of year. I would never change what I say if someone did try to "correct" me. It's their loss for being too sensitive.
I have only been told that it is wrong to say Merry Christmas. Actually, Happy Holidays means Happy Holy Days, so that ought to annoy secularists as well. Holiday, as a cessation from work, is chiefly modern British.
Yup. I usually say, "have a happy holiday" no matter which holiday it is, things like memorial day. I've been bitched at a couple times though by older people.
