If you say Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays or some other generic greeting you might enjoy this song......If not.....move along.

    It SHOULD be Merry Christmas, in my opinion. Although Jesus Christ was a Jew, so he would celebrate Hanukkuk (sp?). I don;t like the acronym X-Mas. As someone one said, don't take the Christ out of Christmas. Merry Christmas Season!

    Big holidays of major religions that fell within 2-3 weeks of Christmas time last year

    - Christmas (Christians)
    - Hannuka (jews)
    - Eid (Muslims)
    - Holiday shopping (capitalism)

    So thats 4 religions. Christmas is as much about Christ as Dr. Oz is about health

    Don't forget Kwanzaa. That said....I think it depends on the person and the family. For me, Christmas is about Christ and my kids will know the reason we celebrate it.

    Honestly agree to a point... it all depends on the people celebrating ...As a general whole... Christmas now is about give me ..give me, I want I want. Growing up in a Christian home though Christmas was always about Jesus's birth. So as a generalization sure...Christmas is not about Christ so much anymore but I am sure there are individuals who still practice that its about Christ :)

    I love how people think other people are trying to steal the christ from christmas when the holiday itself was ripped off from pagan religions.Even the date...lol
    I get tons of flack this time of year for saying Happy Holidays at work, its ridiculous.
    Some people are so self centered they just can not handle someone wishing them a nice day unless it is in the exact manner they think it should be spoken.

    No. Santa is a Christian, who used to be Jewish. Man, you people are confused.

    The earliest x-mas were celebrated by drinking, sexual indulgence, singing naked in the streets (a precursor of modern caroling), etc.


    I make sure to keep that part in it
