if I know what the person celebrates, I'll respond with the appropriate remark on said holiday.

if I don't, I'll just say merry christmas and look like an ass when they are jewish or something. Whatever.

Alternate question: Is it racist if you see somebody with a Jew nose and decide to say "Happy Hannukah (I CAN'T SPELL DIS SHIT)" based on that?

I'd argue that not saying Happy Christmas to someone because it could be insulting as MORE racist.

I mean are they not allowed to enjoy the period and all the things it has to offer just because of their faith? If you were having a Christmas drink with friends would you not invite your one Sikh friend or something... that'd be a dick thing to do.

I like the advert in the background...

Anyway, I say 'merry Christmas', and if they don't like it then tough. It's a pagan tradition so the right of anyone to be offended is utterly non-existent.

They're not the best news station I'm beginning to see....

Not saying one or the other is right. Just wanted to see what everyone though.


Speaking of local bullshit, someone got suspended Senior year in Truman for wearing a Santa outfit to school. This is the same school that had a Christmas tree in the main hall, and has a dumb, specified Christmas show every year on the final day before winter break.

As for the topic, I just say "Merry Christmas". Even my Jewish friends say Merry Christmas. If someone said "Happy Hanukkah" or anything to me, I wouldn't get all bent about it. I'd say "you too" and carry on with my day.

a Due Christmas.

If I said that over here, people might think I meant Hanukkah.

Misreading the thread title and seeing 'What da **** did you just say' at first glance, priceless.

Depends on the person. But only a prick would get offended if someone said "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hanukkah" instead of "Happy Holidays".

O.o

I actually remember some kids I knew talking about that.

Or it could have been something else. I've heard so many stories about Truman.
