Merry Christmas...

Don't like that phrase? Tough...

Merry Christmas anyway.....

Why should I have to watch EVERYTHING I say because it MIGHT offend or bother you? I refuse to give up my beliefs and walk on eggshells...and the second thing is that saying Merry Christmas whether your a Christian or not is not a derogatory phraseology, so why be offended? It goes to the whole thing of respecting everybody.

I can't read ones mind and go, "Oh, I cant say that to them because they may be offended..."

If someone said to me, Happy Hanuka, I would be flattered and say thank you.

PC has gone over the top...

So...Merry Christmas!

And Happy Hanuka if it applies.

Suicidal...Good pick up there dude... I just loaded a bunch of them on my iPOD..

Before you go taking a walk in my world,
...you better take a look at the real world
Cause this aint no Mr. Rogers Neighborhood
Can you say "feel like sh!t"
Yea maybe sometimes I do feel like sh!t
I aint happy about it, but I'd rather feel like sh!t"
...than be full of sh!t!
And if I offended you, Oh I'm sorry
But, maybe you needed to be offended
But here's my apology and one more thing...fvck you!
Cause you can't bring me down


Full lyrics are here

That album is almost 17 years old...damn...

Case and point. I should give up my faith and beliefs because you were offended. Sorry, won't happen. However, being respectful, and you not a stranger off the street, but someone I happen to know, an example of respect is wishing you a Happy Hanukkah.

So you see the point, one phrase, not demeaning or derogatory, but a phrase of celebration, causes everyone to have an aneurysm...My main point is out in public, shopping, I wishing someone Merry Christmas should not be met with hate...it is my belief.

Again, respect and tolerance....

However, historical accuracy is derived much from Judiasm....





HANUKKAH


Among the immigrants from the German-speaking countries were many Jews, commonly referred to as German Jews. To aid the German religious diversity, almanacs and calendars, such as "Des Lahrer Hinkenden Boten neuer historischer Kalender" of 1922, would present Protestant, Catholic and Jewish holidays. Hanukkah, derived from the Hebrew word "cheth-nun- vau-caph-he" meaning dedication, is also called the "Fest of Dedication and the "Festival of Lights." It always starts on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev. Because the Jewish calendar is based on the moon rather than the sun, the Jewish holidays fall each year on varying dates of the solar three hundred sixty five day calendar.

Hanukkah predates Christmas. It is similar to the Christian holiday in the reaffirmation of community and family values; gifts are exchanged, candles are lit in the candelabrum or "Hanukkah lamp" (cheth-nun-vau-caph- yodh-he) and it is a time of rejoicing. However, Jews who observe it don't observe it in relation to Christmas. For the practicing Jew, Hanukkah is not wrapped around Christmas. Jewish children cannot sit on Santa's lap at the mall, and during Christmas they may be easily over- whelmed by the signs of Christmas, to such a degree that they can feel like outsiders.

The holiday commemorates an event in 165 B.C. when Jews in Syria fought, to keep from being assimilated into the Hellenic Society of Grecian rulers, who had banned Jewish worship. The Hanukkah festival not only commemorates this victory but is a celebration of the obtaining of religious freedom. To many Jews it symbolizes the Jewish position as a minority in a mainly Christian nation and has a special meaning for them in keeping their identity. While they believe and fully support American diversity, they recognize that they have common goals as a people.

The 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev marks the beginning of the eight-day observance. It commemorates the military and spiritual victory of Judas Maccabaeus and his army over the King of Syria, who attempted to crush the Jewish faith in one God. Jewish armies defeated the forces of Grecian ruler Antiochus Epiphanes and took possession of the temple in Jerusalem. The Jews wanted to cleanse the temple, but had only one day's supply of oil for lighting. The Talmud says the oil burned for eight days and Hanukkah celebrates that miracle.

Once I stopped looking at Christmas as a religious holiday and started celebrating it for the exploitation and financial yardstick that it really is, I found myself getting much less offended and much more phat paid.

Since it's obvious you don't have an answer as no one is telling you to give up your faith, how about this...

"Happy Holidays" is all-inclusive... just like Jesus.


[Jesus]
Dude, Merry Christmas sounds way too much about 'me'. Remember my child, it's not about me, but my message of love, peace and unity.
[/Jesus]


I love how people so quickly forget the true meaning of Jesus' messages. Where's Andyman to educate?


There is no war on Christmas, just like there was no Holocaust.

Well it really isn't a religious holiday anyway, at least a Christian one. The church couldn't stop folks from celebrating pagan rituals so they stole the holiday and put an Xtian spin on it. More than likey Christs birth was in January/February.

Someone who gets it! Combining pagan rituals with the legitimate celebration is truly an indication of the human condition of comfort in familiarity combined with a new concept. I won't go as far as putting an Xtian spin on it per se, however, the assessment is somewhat accurate.

Hey, we could always add a Catholic spin on it with the addition of Santa Clause, or more historically, St. Nicholas. :D

A better awareness of your surroundings, especially the news would answer your question. Or pay more attention to the sate of our current social behavior.....

Are the words too big for you? I can type slower....

Merry Christmas!

Seriously Ralph who has actually given you crap for saying merry christmas or are you pissed that people aren't saying it to you. Seems like a political escalation of what is a non issue.

If your world is turned upside down because people would prefer you said, "Happy Holidays", then you lead quite the hollow existence.

I feel sorry for you.

You know what offends me? The fact that some members of the most privileged majority of people in this country (that would be white Christians) can bitch and moan about something as trivial as this so they can pretend they are being martyred for their faith just like Christians in the Coliseum, when the God they say they worship got his ass NAILED TO A GODDAMN CROSS for their sake.

If he existed, he'd be more ashamed of you than you could ever possibly imagine.

If its so trivial, leave it alone...again, your lack of respect, like Opie's, solidifies my point.:clapping:


Thank you, you both make this so easy...


Merry Christmas.

The only thing you have proved is that when you make unsubstantiated claims people will over react and throw it in your face. So who is telling you that you can't say Merry Christmas?

You honestly think you deserve respect? Jesus is spinning in his grave right now... :disgust1:

You are indeed a martyr of epic proportions. Just like Saint Peter, you are, except you haven't been crucified upside down. Or anything...besides having a wage slave at Target tell you Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas while you leave with your cart filled with the consumerist crap that was the cornerstone of Christ's philosophy.
