The Plague of the Christmas Crusaders

I am a little confused after reading your thoughts, because at one point you say if your boss demands "Happy Holidays" to be the politicly correct term then that's the one you are forced to use. But in the end you say use whatever makes you happy which you won't be able to do if someone is forcing his views on you like you stated earlier.

I think most peoples problems is they feel that they cannot use whichever expression they want, you being one of them, because there is always someone somewhere that feels the need to shove his opinion down our throats.

I don't have a boss that cares, but I know a lot of people who do.  

And I think you should say whatever you want.  If you want to say Happy Holidays, go ahead!  If you want to say Merry christmas, enjoy!  I don't know a lot of people out there who actually give a damn (as in, no jews I know will throw a tantrum if you tell them Merry christmas).  So say what you want, be who you are and celebrate what you always have, but don't act like you're a hero for 'maintaining' your traditions in the face of 'oppression', which is what some people seem to think this is.  

People believe there is a War on christmas, and that, by PUSHING the "I SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT" mentality, they are somehow acting like heroes of the holidays.
