Do you agree with encouraging Christian's not to say Merry Christmas but happy holidays instead?

I think it is idiotic for anybody to object to "Happy Holidays" and insist on "Merry Christmas". People practice many different non-Christian religions and many practice no religion but still enjoy this festive time of year. To say Merry Christmas excludes everybody except Christians. To say Happy Holidays is inclusive of everybody, including Christians, but that still seems to piss some Christians off. Fuck em.

Say what you want. It doesn't make a difference to me.

I say Merry xmas. It has no religious significance for me

I am all for people using whatever greeting pleases them the most, as long as they are being friendly and kind.

It's not up to me to tell people what to say or do. I don't automatically say it to people but I don't get mad if they say it. It's a well intended wish, which is nice in a world that seems to be all about hate anymore.

I use use Happy Holidays but I don’t encourage others to say it. It’s not my place to tell others what greeting to use(as long as it’s not derogatory or profane).

To do that is as bad as the Antifa nut jobs telling someone not to give a pro conservative speech at a university..

i am more interested in encouraging people to spell plurals without apostrophes. i don't care what christians say. i mean, it irks me (but does not destroy my life) when a stranger wishes me merry christmas, a holiday i have never celebrated, but i don't stop and teach them a course about it.

Because Christmas is a single day, but the holiday season lasts a little longer than a month.

I refuse to waste my time trying to explain things to zombies.

I don't care. On FB i posted a Dropkick Murphy's Xmas song and wished everyone a Happy Holidays or if they insisted a Merry Christmas, or if they understood a Hapy Holidays. (Multiple meanings)

Hallmark was using both Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays long before it became a PC distraction issue. I don't understand how this is even a debate. If you've got something nice to say, I couldn't care less how you choose to word it.

I try not be like them.

Unlike christians, I don't try to influence them into anything.

No, I favor encouraging christians to stop trying to interfere with women's reproduction, telling other people who they can marry, & otherwise trying to impose their beliefs on others by making them laws. Stuff like this is just a distraction.

No. I don't care what they say.
