No, it's been merry Christmas for how long?
To me, they are trying to change what has been here for yrs..

What made me bitter about this was this:

Talking to somebody in a store.

Guy says: happy holidays
Me: merry Christmas
Guy: merry Christmas? Don't you mean happy holidays?
Me: no, merry Christmas (chuckling)
Guy: don't you think that's a bit rude?
Me: no not all, why would it be rude.
Guy: I guess you got no respect! Happy holidays.
Me: MERRY BLEEP CHRISTMAS

a fine example of some people trying to change ways!!

I couldn't care less on how people want to greet me during the holidays. What matters is that they took the time to cheerfully acknowledge me

I am as secular as it gets. But it bothers me that people seem to think that Christmas is from one denomination

Say whatever the season means to you. But never tell me I can't say Merry Christmas.

Never would. a mutual respect for others is all that is required

[brotherd]

Agreed.

In Canada we have freedom of religion, nobody can tell me I can't celebrate Christmas, or any other religious event that involves eating like a pig and consuming large quantities of alcohol.

Merry Christmas!
