    It’s such a ridiculous kind of fake self persecution. No one gets in trouble for saying “Merry Christmas.” Some people choose to say other things that are more inclusive, like “Happy Holidays.” One person saying “Happy Holidays” doesn’t prevent another person from saying “Merry Christmas.”

      It started because corporations offered guidance to their retail employees that shoppers preferred “Happy Holidays” because it was more inclusive. Retail drones were told what to say, and when Christians got wind of it, they lost their collective brain cell.

    As a non-Christmas-celebrating person, I actually prefer “Merry Christmas” to “Happy Holidays” because what other holidays are we really talking about? No one wishes me “happy holidays” around my tradition’s major holidays or any time it’s not Christmas, so let’s please stop pretending it’s about being inclusive and just enjoy Christmas if you celebrate.
