I mentioned that a few days ago to my employees. People are getting tired of the PC bullshit and are saying it more. I celebrate Christmas therefore I use that phrase. The conversation came up again last night when I wished some jewish clients a Merry Christmas. They said happy Hanukkah and neither of us were offended. Imagine that.
People saying "Merry Christmas"

I especially notice it in retail stores, when for as long as I can remember it was always Happy Holidays.
I noticed last year a lot of places I go, used Merry Christmas more, and it seems to be 10 fold this year. Hard to explain, but kind of puts you in an older happier time frame when people weren't miserable joy killers.
I need to use this next year.
One of my agents is Jewish and he openly uses Merry Christmas. Those who know reply with happy Hanukkah, just a mutual appreciation for each other. No offense at all.
Was at Home Depot the other day and a guy went off on a cashier for saying Merry Christmas, myself and a bunch of other contractors wished the snowflake a Merry Christmas. Was hilarious seeing a bunch of guys have an instant bond against a jackass berating a cashier. Cashier appreciated it, and was thankful to all of us.
As long as they aren't trying to do away with Merry Christmas then it isn't a problem. Don't you think it is equally as stupid to try and do away with the word Christmas and everything associated? Why can't we just let people say what they want to say?
Tell them to go home if they don’t like the way it’s done here since the inception.
No one cares IF, and I stress IF, it is done with sincerity but it is forced upon people so they are politically correct.
While this might sound O.T. I'm going somewhere what I am about to type. Did you or anyone see the live version of A Christmas Story and if so, did anything strike you as odd or forced?
Definitely takes you back to a better time. But better days are ahead I believe(hope)
Yes sir. That black cloud that has been hovering over this country is finally gone. Feels great to be taking our country back.
Merry ho ho bitches. Out.
Your last question caught my eye and I think I have an answer. Conservative, good folk don't really care what people say or do if it doesn't affect them. They start caring when they are told they can't say something, especially if it's fundamental to core values. Personally, I could care less if people say happy holidays, merry Christmas, or bah-humbug. I do care when people are shamed and forbidden from saying merry Christmas.
Now let's take the liberals and add them to this equation. Liberals don't have the same core values as the above mentioned. They preach tolerance and freedom, but only if it's something they agree with. Otherwise, they try and shut the speech down using many methods.
So to your question of why can't we just let people say what they want to say?... because the pseudo tolerant liberals won't allow it.
I started saying Merry Trumpmas or It's a Trumpmas miracle to a few folks.
You should keep in mind that there are right wing religeous folks who do get mad at anyone who don't tolerate the lack of your values as well, goes both ways, its not a religeous, athiest, left or right wing thing, its a controlling ignorant person thing, someone gets mad about just laugh at them, wish them a merry Trumpmas and move along.
They’re worse than the libs imo. At least libs don’t look down their nose at you.
I've honestly never met seen or witnessed anyone who did care about someone saying Merry christmas, like someone else said it's always been the other way round. Either way I DGAF what someone says. To me Christmas is about family and friends
As an atheist I have no problem saying it or even intitiating the greeting.
It is a fun holiday and an important one to most people in this nation.
So instead of being miserable, angry, and confrontational the whole season make the most of it.
If someone would say happy hannukah, I would reply the same. If someone said happy Ramadan, I would just respond by pulling my gun and doing a quick pat down.

Merry Christmas (holiday and saying) was never an issue until the voodoo known as liberalism grew in our nation. The group of being perpetually offended is to blame.
I'm not sure you've ever met a liberal. 99.9% of them look down on everyone else as ignorant and uneducated. See it a lot.
Now that is funny.
We must have the rare passive libs out here....hahaha I just don’t get that vibe. I just go ‘oh....they’re retarded’
Likely amplified being in a college town, but that sense of elitism is very strong and it's always amusing.
