Default Re: \"Happy Holidays\" v. \"Merry Christmas\"

[ QUOTE ]


North America is mostly christian, why would you get angry when they want to celebrate the central figure in their faith. I wouldnt go to a muslim country and get all pissed off at them when they want to practice their religion.

No one is angry.
We said we were offended and annoyed when they tell us to have a merry Christmas.
We're not angry, offended, or annoyed that they want to celebrate Christmas.

It's about being polite. It's about etiquette.

It's in the same vein as pronouncing someone's name correctly or addressing them with their proper title (Dr, Mr, Ms).
