Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
I've always said "Merry Christmas". So I have no reason to say it more or less now. What other people say or don't say matters to me less and less with each passing day.
In retail outlets around this time of the year, I sort of understand them telling their sales associates to just say "Happy Holidays", because they don't know whether the prospective customer standing in front of them is a Christian, a Jew, a Muslim, an atheist, etc. And with people being so incredibly easy to o-ffend these days, why chance it? They just want to make the sale. But outside of that, I think that people who use this season to make a political statement, one way or another, are just being silly and annoying. The teacher at a local elementary school who discouraged the 1st and 2nd graders in her classes from saying "Merry Christmas", out of concern that the non-Christian kids in the class might be o-ffended, is a total PC goofball, IMO. Until we get back to readin', ritin' and 'rithmatic (and dispense with the I'm OK, you're OK, we're OK, touchy-feely horse manure that takes away from true, useful learning), we're up the crick without a paddle anyway.
Merry Christmas or Bah Humbug... whatever floats your canoe.

As a non-Christian, I personally have no problem with being told "Merry Christmas", what bothers me more is when people whine about "The War on Christmas." Seriously? It's now a war on Christmas because other cultures want to be recognized as existing during the winter season? America's identity doesn't begin and end with Christmas, but with how people complain and cringe that their Catholic values are being censored or replaced you'd think that Jesus Christ and Santa founded this nation. Just because I might feel tired of seeing Christmas trees, red and green banners, inflatable Santas, nativity scenes, and hearing carols playing nonstop everywhere I go it's unfair of me to feel like my religion deserves some acknowledgement and want a greeting to reflect that, or at the very least encompass me and others who might feel ostracized?
Like I said, I don't mind being told Merry Christmas, I mind those who complain about having to show tolerance by saying Happy Holidays.
War on Christmas? Give me a break.

Me, but I dont lose sleep over it.
The growing use of the phrase Happy Holidays was a PC thing, not originally of course but it became that about 20 years ago.
And so it came to pass that right on cue, on Christmas Eve, our bloated windbag president, ever so predictably, credited himself with "leading the charge against the assault on our cherished and beautiful phrase. Merry Christmas!!" 
:rofl:
Only to be immediately confronted with multiple clips of our previous president and wife using the phrase lol
Trump is such trash, and so full of shit. Happy Holidays you fatuous :douchebag:

I really hate the fake "War on Christmas" stuff that people get so pissed about. As a Christian, I really feel bad for non-Christian Americans. They are treated as second-class when it comes to religious liberties. We Christians have such a persecution complex.

Paula ["look at me I'm psychotic!"] White jumps on the Trump-as-crusading-savior bandwagon while also claiming there was a nativity scene on the White House lawn (there wasn't)."He's a man of faith; he's a believer" :1orglaugh
