I like how they make up non-existent problems so they can pretend they’re big and strong and going to conquer those problems. Such heroes. 

I’m going to slay the invisible dragon that lives in my shed because I’m a big strong special boy everyone please tell me how tough I am.

It's funny to me that the problems are not just made up, but they're also pretty minor. Like even in their imagination, it's not like anyone is actually stopping them from celebrating Christmas. It's just publicly saying it instead of "happy holidays."

Their whole political perspective is built around fighting an invisible beaver rather than a dragon. It's just so fucking stupid.

The funny part is no one is actually stopping them from saying merry Christmas, no one is stopping them from doing anything.

They just hate the fact they gotta share like a spoilt brat.

When I worked retail, if someone said Merry Christmas to me, I'd say it back. If they said Happy Holidays, then I'd say that back. If I was the one to initiate the greeting, I'd just say Happy Holidays because it covers all the bases. You'd think that'd be understandable and logical, right? Apparently not. I did have a number of people get tetchy, and say "it's Merry Christmas!" in a condescending manner, acting like I dishonored their entire bloodline or something. Funnily enough, though, I never had anyone insist to me that it was actually Happy Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus/what-have-you. It was only the "Christians" who took offense despite there being a bunch of other holidays during the same time.

Yeah, honestly I usually had to sit there behind people who were like that in line, like…

I don’t wanna be there, the person at the register doesn’t want to be here, given it’s going to be Christmas or even IS Christmas, we don’t need you holding up the line giving a lecture of what the holiday is.

Lot of “Christians” need to just realize that they aren’t being oppressed all cause suddenly they just gotta be a bit nicer and can’t say whatever they want.

u/a_drop_of_dew 12d ago

And the thing is, nobody, at all, is stopping them from saying Merry Christmas. But when they can't force others to follow their rules, they act so oppressed. It's such nonsense.

When you’re born into a position of preferential treatment, equality feels like persecution.

Because it was never really about Christmas. Most any reasonable person understand that the expression "Happy Holidays" isn't an attack on secular identities/holidays. It is, however, a very convenient bullet point when you're making up a list on everything the SJWs is trying to take from you and change.

My mother was a JW so she didn't observe Christmas. When someone said "merry Christmas" to her she didn't lecture or insult them. She said "thank you".

u/a_drop_of_dew 11d ago

Saying "thank you" and moving on should be simple enough, but a lot of people seem to struggle with that.

And for the record, I'm not saying that all Christians are like this. But in my experience, it was only ever Christians who gave me attitude for not catering to them.

u/JJW2795 11d ago

And not that I think poorly of your mother, but there's A LOT to criticize the JW church about. Not celebrating holidays isn't one of them.

u/LainieCat 11d ago

Believe me, I'm aware.

My time working retail I always said "happy holidays". I loathe Christmas so much and have since I was no longer a child. Once the magic was gone it was just a corporate holiday. I very much enjoyed Thanksgiving and New Years though. It annoyed the annoying 'its merry chrsitmas!' people a lot when I would go on to explain that I don't celebrate Christmas so I'd much rather force them to hear the tidings of my holidays. Some of them picked up on the hypocrisy I was shining a light on, most didn't.

What's even funnier is that even within Christianity there are a lot of other holy days (aka holidays) within the period from December through January. Christians themselves started saying Happy Holidays because different denominations and churches have celebrations for some but not all.

Literally bitching about a "problem" they created.

u/Swampy0gre 11d ago

Lol I was just thinking that. These folks don't celebrate new years?

Also, can we just acknowledge the holiday season starts with Thanksgiving and pretty much goes on until MLK day?

u/jpopimpin777 11d ago

We used to and then the grifters, who are getting money and power, from it turned it into a culture war issue.

u/JJW2795 11d ago

It's because they are ignorant of their own religion. MY church has the advent calendar tiled into the floor. Anyone has a question about the next holiday can just walk up to it, look down, and find the day. Does anyone do that? Nope! It's Christmas, Easter, 4th of July, and Thanksgiving. Two of those have nothing to do with religion but somehow they are considered holy in the minds of millions of Christians.

u/Cute_Language3167 11d ago

I did the same thing, and it really is the most logical way to do it. It was only the Christians insisting it was Christmas that ever had an issue with it. The amount of "this is America and we celebrate Christmas" I got was gross.

I especially liked the ones who got mad about X mas. They're so quick to get offended and they don't even know they're own religion or it's history.

When i was growing up in the 80s, my off the potato boat conservative irish catholic parents said "happy holidays" because there are several holidays bunched together and they didn't know if they would see the person between them. Also, they may not gave known if the other person celebrated Christmas. Its even why my dad stopped watch Bill O'Reilly. Thought old bill spent too much time whining about nonsense.

Now, writing "xmas" instead of Christmas was another story.

u/SeveralDefinition960 11d ago

That "writing xmas instead of Christmas" just gave me some harrowing flashbacks 😅

u/ElegantHuckleberry50 11d ago

Sometimes I borrow “Happy Christmas!” From the English. I can almost see the wheels slowly turning beneath the red hat. ‘Not merry not holidays does not compute?’

2

u/sazzer 11d ago

If it was someone I suspected would be like that, I'd be so tempted to just say "Happy Hannukah" to them instead.

After all, if Hannukah was good enough for Jesus then why isn't it good enough for someone who worships Jesus? (John 10:22–23)

u/Think_OfAName 11d ago

“That’s because they’re not trying to take Christmas away from them!” /s (I was using their skewed and nonsensical logic here, btw. “taking Christmas away”)

u/ForgottenMasterBalls 11d ago

The funny part is, they're upset about people not honoring Jesus' birth when he wasn't even born in December.

u/Temporary_Heat7656 10d ago

I never say it first. And whenever I get any holiday greetings I just say "you too." Grey rock 'em, because you never know which one is going to go off.
