Does it really matter what the words are?
"Happy Holidays" ... "Season's Greetings" ... "Merry Christmas" ... "Happy Hanukkah" ... "Happy Kwanza" ... "Io, Saturnalia!" ... "Merry Winter Solstice" ... "Happy Festivus" ... etc. ... etc. ...

Why can't people just accept the well wishes in the spirit they were intended and stop nitpicking over the actual words used? :shrug:

1. don't you know?
Christians are oppressed in this horribly unbalanced land, America. They have little or no right to practice their religion and express their religious views.

You're missing the whole point of the Holidays.

Just another way to not focus on anything that is important, uh, like, the war, illegal immigration, jobs, health care, education, etc.
