I want to apologize

[Equity Market investor]

Couldn't agree more. I, as well, have friends from all ethnics and we wish each other Merry Christmas. When someone says " Happy Holidays", first, I will repeat " happy holidays" But I will always phrase first with " Merry Christmas"

At my work ( public company ), Customers say Merry Christmas more than Happy Holidays.

Visit any almost Asian country in December and see how much they have adopted Christmas.

It might not cost anything to say Happy Hplidays, but it also doesn't cost anything to gracefully accept Merry Christmas as an extension of well wishes, not a reason to get offended, or invent "white supremacy" as its dfining characteristic.

And why is it usually the "Woke" white people who always seem to be the ones offended on behalf of people who don't seem to really be offended?

I have non-white friends from China, Cambodia, Uganda and India who all regularly say, "Merry Christmas."

I'm an atheist and I say Merry Christmas to everyone. It's what the day is called*.

*At least since Christians co-opted the solstice festival from everyone else.

To everyone who I offended by wishing them a merry Christmas. I did not realize it was my inner white supremacist attitude. I am dedicating the new year to addressing that and my white privilege. Is it okay to say “Happy Boxing Day”?

Please don't apologize or waste time on those people. I love all Merry and Happy celebration's from any culture or religion.

I love the irony of this post. Complaining about a what a christian holiday is called on an escort review board. That’s some goddamn funny stuff.
I’m like Melania in a way, who gives a fuck about xmas. I say happy holidays, it’s fun to fuck with the numbnuts’ when they reply back correcting me about it being merry xmas. We live in an inclusive society that asks we consider others and their celebrations.
I ask them how many times they go worship baby jebus in church per year, usually the answer is “well, I don’t go to church but...”
Or, “well, I don’t really practice christianity but it’s important to me to say merry xmas.” So I ask them why it’s so important if they don’t go to church or practice the faith?
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, what does your christ think about you seeing escorts?
Choke on your hypocrisy and self righteousness.

You want to live in an inclusive society but you are critical of people on this site. You might want to reassess the reason you are here . Have you thought about a religious site or ranting with a sandwich board on the corner of a busy intersection ?

I’m not critical of people on this site. I’m critical of christian hypocrisy. If you are a devoted christian and exist on an escort review board, you are a hypocrite. It’s a “don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house” scenario. If you ain’t perfect, leave others alone.
I’m not religious so I don’t answer to an imaginary being. I just fuck and don’t do harm to others. Why you would suggest that I go to a religious site makes zero sense.

I wouldn’t want to be like melania in any way, except having a similar sized bank account once she dumps the asshole trump.

Come to Philippines and we start celebrating Christmas in September, that's the first Brr month. Septembrrr, Octobrrr, Novembrrrr. The lights go up and songs start at all the malls Septembrr 1. Not saying its right or wrong, its the way we celebrate, Philippines being heavy Christian. I personally put out the lights December 1, I adapted to Canadian living lol.

I by default say Merry Christmas to everyone but if I know they don’t celebrate I say Happy Holidays.

I wasn’t thinking last night and asked Bianca what she did for Christmas. She politely responded “We don’t celebrate it”. Damn.....duh. She then responded with Merry Christmas. Lol. Its a greeting, an expression of well being wishing others good health and prosperous lives. Can’t we just take it for what it is. I’m not white and never will be so white supremacy has nothing to do with it.

 

[PuntMeister]

Seems Trump is onboard with the whole Merry Christmas thing.

 

[lukom]

No one cares if you say Merry Christmas I find.

 

[g eazy]

This post is much to do about nothing. OP is conjuring divide that sprung up in the corner of the Internet, trying to convince people here that there is an issue where there actually isn't.

I by default say Merry Christmas to everyone but if I know they don’t celebrate I say Happy Holidays.

Do this if you can, but if you don't, no one is going to lose any sleep over it.

I am not white, I am not a Christian, but feel free to wish me a Merry Christmas. I noticed that I tend not to say Happy Holidays.

Ironically, I learned the term Happy Holiday after I came to Canada. In my country of origin, India, people gladly exchange Merry Xmas all the time and interestingly the Christian population in India is very very small. So go figure!

In my opinion, Joyous occasions should not be marred by political correctness.

I was in the Philippines for Xmas in the early 90's and it was a huge deal
The following week, New Year Eve celebrations were wild....tho' I thought the firecrackers were a bit out of control,lol.

Yes agreed, we can get out of countrol on the firecrackers and food lol. New years day is a big day for the Hospitals and burn ward. I remember being a nurse in the hospital and seeing all the terrible burns and injuries.

Christmas is by far our biggest celebration but its more about family getting together and eating and drinking and just enjoying each others company.

I never assume a religious or not disposition of anyone, unless I know them well and their beliefs, whatever those are that they choose.

I send wintery season's celebration GIFs or short video to my WeChat Chinese friends and receive same from them.
A few have sent me Celine Dion's rendition of John Lennon's "So This Is Christmas". The message in this song is about peace and love for others.

I easily share in the Christian prayer of peace and happiness for all sentient beings, easily even when I am not a Christian.
If I am greeted by a "Merry Christmas", I return in same this greeting with this prayer being in my mind, without any separation due to religious basis.
If I am greeted by a "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays", my reply in same is again with this prayer in my mind.

The calendar we are using is the Gregorian Calendar.
Pope Gregory the XIII introduced this version in 1582 in order that easter would fall on the correct day.
So, if any holidays are observed using this calendar, are those not all based on a white culture ( Christianity) based system?

Next time I burn my hand......I know the place I’m going for some nursing.

Congrats one and all for falling for yet another trolling bit of nonsense. We have enough real problems. Quit harping on the made up shit.
