Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Xmas is just as proper a term as Christmas. X, XP and Xt have been used in place of the word Christ since no later than 1021 AD.

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 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. |
Does it really just ruin your entire day that someone says "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas?" You say your fiance is dealing with it at work almost as if it's some kind of nationwide plague or fad. It's really the most pointless thing imaginable to get angry about, and it wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that most of the people who complain about it are angry old conservatives (Bill O'Reilly, Pat Robertson, etc.).

It's annoying in the fact that it's an absurd and pointless "censoring" (if I may). Why wouldn't it be perturbing to be pressured into so obviously blotting out any reference to the holiday?

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made. I won't open my unworthy mouth.
Happy Holidays everybody. ALL OF THEM. But none by name.
Next up, we're taking away Easter, suckers.
I get mad if people say happy holidays. I demand they go back and say Merry Christmas.
