What about American Indians? Are they not American? Where are you from son? ..As long as they are Christians. Otherwise. That's a big fat no. OMG, I'm not American???? 
No, if you don't celebrate Christmas. You must leave ASAP. I'm a 15th generation American, who celebrates Christmas. read my profile.

I look at it as a time of family and friends.....another excuse to get drunk , but that is a side issue at this point in time...lol You get drunk on the Holy night? 
Drunk with the sacrificial wine.....usually I wait until new years to get plastered..... or st. pattys day <which is irish> It's too late to explain now...I'm telling your pastor. 
oh no...anything but that!....lol |

yeah....whatever.......for the most part, I respect other people boundries.......and their beliefs..... But I think it is BULLS*IT, when stores feel the need to cater to UNAMERICAN WAYS IN AMERICA.... Screw the "happy holidays" crap.... It was founded as CHRISTMAS....not HOLIDAY. other cultures may believe in something other then CHRISTMAS....but IN AMERICA WE HAVE CHRISTMAS... if you live in America....you should respect the culture of OUR ways....as americans should do in other countries.... With that being said.... 
MERRY CHRISTMAS.....And a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since when are there only Christians in America? You do realize there are others who don't celebrate Christmas in America, right? They must. Don't be so un-American.

America is made up of many different cultures and beliefs not just christians. true.....but it is still AMERICA.....as the "holidays" should be.... People of other cultures can practice their own beliefs with out interfering with American Tradition.... A huge part of these people you refer to are american too. So what the hell tradition are you referring to? So to break it to you.....Christmas was here BEFORE any other "american" holidays...as you will call them.... Look....simple, point blank....I respect what each culture believes, and wiil even go so far as to say I am interested in learning about their beliefs, if for no other reason, just so I know in detail the origin, and reason for the practice... But the oldest tradition in this country should be the one that stands, in the matter of CHRISTMAS... Yeah I dont think American Indians were out there on the plains decorating Christmas trees and trampling people on Doorbusters at Wallmart. That would be a Christian claim to the holiday that they stole form the Pagans initially. |

So are you saying athiest beleif isnt american? cause america is land of the free. thats america is about its about being able to have your own choice. Not at all...And I do respect your right to have your beliefs, whatever they are... All I'm saying is that it will be a sad day, in my opinion, when folks stop wishing strangers a Merry Christmas because they fear giving offense. Maybe it'll be a good day for you, or whoever... But to me it will make the world just that much sadder of a place to live. So its okay to wish someone a merry Christmas even if they are not Christian, yet its horrifying to you to utter the words "Happy Holidays" because that sentiment is too all inclusive and tolerant??
I am saying people should not be offended when I see things the way I do.....I am not offended at the Jews....or ANYONE else.....what offends me is the way everyone is acting different just so they don't offend other cultures....if I say Merry Christmas.....and you are jewish....it should not offend you.....you should know that I am showing respect with what this country believes...... |

If you want to get technical Christmas wasn't an American established holiday it existed and was celebrated before "America" was even discovered
"Columbus named the first settlement he founded in Cuba "Navidad" becasue they landed on Christmas Day" The Puritans didn't celebrate "Christmas" |

This nation is a diverse group of humans who practice any number of beliefs and spiritualities. If you say "Merry Christmas" to me, I will reply in kind with a "Happy Holidays" I celebrate Yule and not Christmas. Yule was the origional Pagan holiday that was absorbed and adapted by the Christians. |

FYI St. Patrick's Day is a religious holiday and no pubs are open or liquor sold on that day!
