There are still a few generic "holiday" holdouts, but it seems to be that Christmas is back to being the majority of what I'm hearing now. Feels good, man.

And even then, what's the problem with saying Happy Holidays? It's just a weird thing to fake outrage over.

Exactly. even taking the religious aspect out of it...Thanksgiving and New Years are also Holidays and Thanksgiving is usually when people start wishing each other happy Holidays since...you know they're just starting the Holiday season.

The only part that makes it a little weird is when the whole store is red and green but there isn't a dreidel in sight, yet for whatever reason the cashier evidently feels like "happy holidays" is inclusive.

So what? Red and Green aren't exclusive to Christmas. Do you walk into an Italian restaurant in July and get upset they wish you a happy 4th instead of a merry christmas?

its 100% truth. no one cares when you say Merry Christmas. The only people making this a thing are the ones who cry when someone says "Happy Holidays".

Looks like an existing image somebody tried to adapt. Would be more appropriate if the boot were empty, I think, but either way part of the implication is it's a non-issue, which it kinda is.

Like seriously who cares if anyone is specifically wishing you a Merry Christmas or throwing in Hanukkah and stuff too?

That's not strictly true either. I've seen it a couple of times.

"Merry Christmas!"
*stops and turns around*
"Happy Hanukkah."

I'm sure that happens about .01% of the time while actual news stations have turned "Happy Holidays" into some kind of controversy. the scale is definitely skewed...again, people have been saying Merry Christmas during all this drama and still do...no one gives a fuck.

That sort of thing is really only adversarial if someone makes it that way. There's nothing wrong with using your preferred holiday greeting in response to someone else's

Most people don't really care what it's called. The "War on Christmas" was basically an outrage meme that blew over. Now people just call the season whatever they want.

Avoiding saying Merry Christmas is dumb. Christmas is much more of a secular holiday today than it is a religious holiday. It's literally just a continuation of the Roman Saturnalia.

No, this is ignoring the real issue. It's not about saying happy holidays to people.

It's about having a "Holiday party" and a "holiday tree." It's about saying "what are you doing for the holiday?"

People became afraid to say Christmas and would use holiday as a synonym for it.

Still bullshit. Is there anything wrong with having enough self-awareness to know that Christmas isn't the only holiday in December?
