Happy Holidays vs. Merry Christmas


Recommended Posts

remind them that jesus wasn't born in december anyways, if you were really jewish you'd recognize hannukah as a 2nd tier holiday, and kwanza is pretty much fake and go on with your day.

people are too damn uptight about everything these days. Personally get rid of all the gifts and commercialism and just make it a day i can eat dinner with my family and friends and watch a christmas story for 15 hours straight.

Unless you have your religious emblem tattooed on your forehead, how the fuck is anyone supposed to know what bullshit holiday you celebrate? If I say "Merry Christmas" to you and you're a Jew, counter with "Happy Hanukkah". If you're whatever the fuck celebrates Kwanzaa, say that. If you're all about Annual Gift Man, say that too.

The message of good wishes is identical, regardless of the words you use.

People get all bent out of shape about stupid shit and is further evidence to support that any religious overtones to anything serve as little more than a destructive force.

Merry Fucking Christmas.

Happy Goddamn Hanukkah.

Get the fuck over it and have some nog.

(My lady is a Jew and says Merry Christmas. She is no less of a Jew because of this.)

i had jewish friends in high school who would get way WAY more excited to partake in christmas related activities at my house than i would. they were always especially enamored with the christmas tree.

I remember when I was working at Target I told a lady happy holidays and she got this real stern look and angry tone in her voice and told me "no you wish me a merry christmas." I told her sorry man i'm jewish. Her apology had this tone to it like she was sorry for me.

P.S. I'm not really jewish

Yes in actuality the traditional celebration of Chanukah does not include gift getting/giving.

Also, this year I think I'm going to try out "Happy Christ-day"
