I still think that the secular holiday should be refferred to as Xmas, though that pronounciation apparently isn't a modern abbreviation. It's not like christians now think Mary gave birth to Santa at the North Pole on Christmas day or anything, so you can't say that it's not a religious holiday anymore, whether a majority of people celebrate it for non-religious reasons or not.
And yes, I know Jesus, biblically, wouldn't have been born on christmas either, get over it. Christians needed the excuse to hijack a pagan holiday instead of starting another crusade, and paying homage to when Jesus was born works pretty well.
And actually, it's not overreacting, my fiance is dealing with it at work already, where most people are defaulting to a generic "Happy Holidays" even if they do celebrate Christmas. Admittedly, it's not as bad as a couple cases you heard some 5 years ago or thereabouts, when people were really getting snotty about it.

A lot of muslims I know celebrate christmas. It's not agains the religion as Jesus is one of their prophets. I don't think they celebrate it directly, it's more of a case of getting swept up in the festivities.
I'm with you Grey. haha.
I've been doing this. Everyone that says "Happy Holidays" to me, I reply back with a "Merry Christmas".
Yes, Merry Christmas to all!
This thread wins. Why do people always call it 'the holidays', (particularly Americans?) because its not the holidays, its Christmas. (Hannukah (sp?) is not big here in the UK, from December 1st, it's "Christmastime").

For me it's both.
Merry Christmas.
I hate the whole political correct thing too. If someone said happy hannukah to me I'd just shrug it off, i'm not going to get upset.
