The christians that boycot "Happy holidays"

This really really pisses me off. Why do they even care? It seems they think christmas is to only holiday this time of year. We all know the US has to be politcially correct I mean wtf what is the matter with them? And whats up with christans getting expensive ass presents, the thought of giveing presents at christmas time isn't about how expensive it is but the though of the gift itself. If you really do beilive in christmas and are a christain every single present you get should be donated THAT is the spirit of a true christain.

Wait...are some christians seriously boycotting the happy holidays saying for real?
I'm a bit behind on the news lately with college+2jobs, but that just seems absurd.

Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses have boycotted Xmas for some time now. They also don't recognise Halloween, for obvious reasons. It must suck to a a JW......

What can you expect of grown adults that still believe in fairy tales? I half expect them to shit their diapers and cry until their mommy comes and changes it for them.

I have no clue why we have to say "happy holidays" to share christmas with fucking muslims. Christmas is a holiday for the U.S, and whether you are christian, atheist, agnostic, or whatever... it shouldn't change the fact that as a country we have traditions that should be observed and tolerated regardless of their PCness.

I am an atheist. Christmas is not my holiday. Just because the majority of American citizens are crazy Christians does not mean I am, and sure as shit does not mean I share their holidays.

I believe in saying either "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Chanukkah" or "Happy Kwanza" or "Happy Nothing" for the Athiests. We've dug ourselves into too deep of a hole with this PC shit. Merry Christmas to ya.

I don't give a rats ass what you say to as a greeting. Its just the fact of people not buying from stores that say a certain thing is completly ignorant.

I am an atheist and Christmas is a tradition for me. Its a time I get together with my family and enjoy eachothers company. I get to see my family from across the country and we show appreciation and love to eachother. The ritual includes christmas trees, santas, lights, gifts, and holiday cookies. I take part in all of these and enjoy the festivities while not believing in the whole Jesus thing. Whether we want to admit it or not, Christmas is a seperate beast that can be taking religiously or as a festivity. Don't be scared of celebrating Jesus's holiday... its all in good fun.

Christmas has been already been hijacked for the sake of consumerism and greed...
Perhaps in another 10 years we will all call it "enjoy your debt day", or "show me how much you love with stuff" day...
Who cares, the true meaning of Christmas was sold for profit long ago...

I still get a "happy little feeling" around Christmas. Especially this year, since I get to have my very first REAL tree! I love the smell of pine needles.
I basically think of Christmas as just a day to do special things with loved ones.

People just needs to chill the fuck out. A boycott of a business for using "happy holidays" is just about as fucking stupid as removing the word "Christmas" from your business for PC purposes. I don't believe in God but I love to celebrate Christmas. Obviously I don't celebrate it for religious purposes but it is still a tradition for me and I like it. Its a great season to get together with family and friends and share some good times.
And anyone who gets their panties in a wad over whether or not we can have a nativity scene in a public area is a fucking moron. Groups like the ACLU can be just as bad as these idiotic Christian groups at times! I say to each his own. Your nativity scene doesn't affect my life any more then my use of "Happy Holidays" affects yours.

They should just let them say what they want, I mean, they're going to go to hell if they don't accept Jesus into their hearts anyways.
