I neve...this was a really interesting post for me. I never realized that people would be offended by hearing happy holidays as opposed to merry christmas. I'm agnostic but I still say happy holidays and merry christmas to anyone I see because I want everyone to enjoy this time of year no matter what they are celebrating. I also still love hearing merry christmas and would even thoroughly enjoy getting a happy hanukah if someone wanted to wish it for me. I think this time of year, more than anything, should be about expressing love and appreciation for those you care about, and even those you don't really know. <br />Also, I think everyone needs to stop looking for reasons to be offended and just start appreciating what it is other people have to offer. After all, hearing happy holidays is still a lot better than hearing "go to hell"....Angela Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04900202642481684735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167690386656874867.post-11688802507942039442009-12-25T14:57:16.080-07:002009-12-25T14:57:16.080-07:00I think you did a wonderful job of articulating yo...I think you did a wonderful job of articulating your thoughts! I never want to assume that someone is Christian as I grew up with many non-Christians so I say Happy Holidays quite a bit and it is not meant to be dismissive or upsetting; it's meant to be inclusive.Claudya Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034216831504207496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167690386656874867.post-31049974356371345392009-12-25T07:20:27.972-07:002009-12-25T07:20:27.972-07:00Have a very Merry Christmas Crystal and a Happy Ne...Have a very Merry Christmas Crystal and a Happy New YearAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14184431718430671260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167690386656874867.post-66287625835628749892009-12-24T18:01:16.421-07:002009-12-24T18:01:16.421-07:00This really spoke to me!
