Does it bother anyone else to say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas? Is anyone intimidated to say?

That bothers me too. but people don't realize when they say happy holidays, they're actually saying Happy Holy Days

Nah i kinda like it that people say Happy holidays cuz it goes for everyone me? i celebrate christmas but thats just me i dont mind

nope i celebrate christmas and most people i know also do but if i think or know someone celebrates an other holiday i say happy holidays dont really matter its just the jesture that counts haha

Yeah, I respect peoples beliefs even though I don't agree with them.

I always say Merry Christmas as that's what I'm celebrating. If people celebrate a different religion, I'm more than happy to receive a greeting such as 'Happy Hanukkah' or whatever it is, because that's their religion and that's what they're celebrating. Happy Holidays just sounds too generic to me, it doesn't celebrate what the actual occasion is. Besides, many people celebrate Christmas without any actual religious traditions - it's all about family and celebrating togetherness in my book, not necessarily about religion (even if that was the tradition that started it all).

Im mad that people are intimidated to say merry christmas, but other people have other beliefs.

all of this political correctness is stupid. the feeling is there, even if you aren't Christian. like, if when someone sneezes, i say bless you. it's just considered natural and good manners. same with Merry Christmas! if people get offended over that, then that's their problem. i wouldn't get offended if someone said Happy Hannukah (even tho im not jewish).

It's a bunch of nonsense. What else can I say--it's so stupid.

There are other holidays BESIDES Christmas. Not everyone is a Christian.
