Question Safer to say "Happy Holidays"

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I was curious if it was safer to say happy holidays than stuff like "Merry Christmas" Yes I know is christmas, is a holiday, people celebrate it, but not everyone does, for various personal reasons like cultural customs, religion and other purposes, so is still okay to say that to people especially in general public, or just keep it "Happy Holidays" Less specific? Of course the goal here is to not offend anyone.

If christmas = jesus birthday.
What is 1st january based on?

Isnt like the calendar based on before christ, after christ

Except the bible makes it pretty clear that Christmas -can't- be Jesus's birthday.

It's like if you think about it... the Easter bunny is actually -more- representative of what Easter/summer solstice is really about instead of the "Zombie/Vampire" Jesus.

That depends on interpretation and how you calculate it. There are arguments both in favor and against a December birth date:

I know that feeling, except if you are christian, and you try to be not offensive. God is not a thing, gift you can keep for yourself, but you want to share with others. So I deeply wish everyone Merry Christmas anyway, even if I can't say it, because I respect others believes.

Donald Trump said: "It will be politically incorrect NOT to say Merry Christmas". Hahaha


Start at minute 3:45 if you don't have time for the full thing.

Though I might be happier if you wished me a a good yuletide or Saturnalia I can safely say anybody that is offended by you saying merry Christmas is probably not worth the effort. In fact were they to start correcting me I would probably say "don't be a miserable cunt" just to seal the deal.

Also why are we in site discussions?

been my fave word for years.

i prefer to say happy new year , but i have a few christian friends so of course i will say "merry xmas"
this is out of respect, because i know they celebrate it.

nothing bad about it, we are all human but we are just not the same with traditions/religions i guess ?

but ya in the end we are all just human.

it would be more encompassing, if it wasn't for the retards being all 'ITS JESUS' BIRTHDAY YOU UNAMERICAL PIECE OF SHIT'

I take it you have not met the ones that dislike xmas being used over Christmas because it downplays the Christian aspect or some nonsense?

Despite the fact the "X" is an abbreviation of Χριστός?

Yes, never let a little thing like facts get in the way of a good victim narrative.

I miss the good ol' days where people didn't get offended by the smallest of things. Or the ones where people feel the need to do justify performing *ACTIVITY X* as a stance against *DEMOGRAPHIC Y* especially when said demographic aren't the ones getting their knickers in a bunch over *ACTIVITY X* as evident even in this thread itself. Or the ones where people were less fuck-this-fuck-that-fuck-you-fuck-me-fuck-the-world.
