I like the third one down... 
You know what I can\'t stand? \"Christmahanukwanzakah\" or whatever. It\'s not witty. Pick a damn holiday.
I tend to say \"Happy Holidays\" after Christmas and a few weeks before, while I use \"Merry Christmas\" in the week or two before the holiday.
... as long as this avoids that stupid political correctness that showed up in the last few years. I mean, \"Holiday Tree\"? It\'s a friggin\' \"Christmas Tree\"!

Looking for me elsewhere? Maybe look at my Fediverse account for some more-or-less random postings! If you're a gamer, check out my Osmium profile. I'm building that tool!
OfflineMy sentiments exactly. I mean, I tend to use Happy Holidays in general as there are two holidays coming up. Thus requiring a plural.
And I\'ve heard worse than \"Holiday\" tree. I\'ve heard \"friendship\" tree and even \"Giving\" tree.
Yeah, I walk up to people and throw them a cheery \"I don\'t care\" all the time.
Merry Christmas for me.
A little bit of C, a little bit of D.
I don\'t celebrate Christmas or any other holiday. But I\'m not going to try and stop others from having their fun.

Hollow, Mega X, and Necro....Three people with practically the same avatar UNITE!
:rofl:
Hehe, as for greeting, I pretty much just say Merry Christmas. I really don\'t know anyone who doesn\'t celebrate Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all:D:D
Simple:
\"Bow down to me!\"
Meh, I think \"Merry Christmas\" is better, unless it has passed whilst the holiday(s) is still going.
All hail the Supreme Comrade Cossack!
MErry Christmas. MY second choice would be the third one.
Edit: Mr. Met easy way to tell them apart Hollow has the Kenshin siggy Mega.X has an eyepatch on his napoleon avi.

Hey beautiful people, you're better off trying to e-mail me than message me on here.
InactiveThats right!!!!!!! It\'s \"Merry Christmas\" not \"Happy Holidays\"!!!!!!!!!!
God, I hate political correctness, It makes me twitch.
I\'ve heard someone call a Christmas tree as a \"Multi-Holiday Tree\"
Now thats just low.
I use happy holidays during the holiday season, on x-mas eve and x-mas day, I say merry x-mas =D
I tend to use \"Get the f-ck off my lawn!\" and \"Shut up.\" as my typical greetings. I call my tree....oh wait, I don\'t have one.
I\'m not bothered by political correctness. Being a minority I appreciate it when people don\'t use slurs.
I'm older school than you are.
InactiveBeing politically correct... No, thanks. Merry Christmas. I mean, if you\'re talking about Christmas, it\'s silly not to say it, right? What was it I told someone the other day about that \"Holohanaquanzica\" thing... Oh, yeah. Why not just call red purple so you don\'t offend blue...?

Yeah, but Match, saying \"nigger\" to a black dude is different then saying \"black,\" and \"black\" is not politically correct, it\'s \"African-American.\" But everyone uses \"black.\" \"Colored\" can be considered an insult, but that\'s politically correct as well. I would take \"colored\" offensively (not that I\'d get mad). Now I don\'t know what you are other then a Satanist, but being politically correct is different then not being prejudiced/an ass/etc.
\"Merry Christmas\" is what you should say, but not to some random person. Unless you and that person are both of some other religion WHICH includes some other holiday at this time and you both know it... which by the way Channakuh is not the major Jewish holiday around this time, Rosh Hashannah is (I think I spelled that wrong), but poeple compare Channukah to Christmas instead because you both get presents. Just thought I\'d mention that. Anyway, you say \"Merry Christmas\" when applicable, and you give Christmas presents to whomever you want. So what if you\'re Hindu? I\'m not Christian either! It\'s just presents! The only exception is Greek Orthodox or any similar religion, should they exist (is Necro of one of those, or does he just not like holidays? Greek Orthodox includes your birthday.), and inthose cases you just give a present (unless you already know) to which they don\'t accept and are not offended, and also explain that they are religiously not allowed to celebrate any holidays or accept any sort of activity or theme based around it... a Greek Orthodox in my class named Lydia couldn\'t do a plotting worksheet in math class that was shaped like a heart because it was near Valentine\'s day. I always hated \"Happy Holidays\" cards because they were retarded. And that was when I believed there was some dude named God in the sky because mommy said so.
Political correctness also can include things like affirmative action... \"Sorry, we can\'t hire you because it\'s illeagal to hire you \'cause you\'re white. Or male. Or not gay.\" THAT\'S discrimination.
Political correctness can go suck my ass. Stuff it just like the turkey.
Merry Christmas. Wham bam thank you ma\'am.
Now get the f*ck off my property before I get Santa to beat your asses.
Inactive You\'re right, God. There\'s a huge difference between being politically correct and just not being rude. Personally, I simply opt for not being rude, but some of these new politically correct terms are, in a word, stupid.
