1st Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.(But when you fail, forgive)
I live in a good area. I mindlessly wished a lady a “Merry Christmas” and she smiled and wished me a “Happy Chanukah.” (And, of course, I did the same then.) That is the right way.
Im not religious, but “Merry Christmas” in no way offends me.I am far more offended at others that insist that i can only say Merry Christmas, and that all other greetings are wrong.
The real pains are the sheeple who actually think Jesus could have been born in December. (hints: a – there were Shepherds in the fields, b – the date was set by church politicians trying to usurp traditional winter festivals.)
I don’t understand what’s so offensive about “Happy Holidays”. Even from a strictly Christian point of view (not mine), there are Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s in this season. In any case, I’m happy to return whatever greeting I’m given without stressing about it.
I’m atheist, “Merry Christmas” doesn’t bother me in the least nor any other holiday greetings as they all reflect the good wishes and cheer of the other person and to cavil at anything beyond that is idiotic.
If pushed, I just smile and wish them joy at the Time of the Unconquered Sun (The real “reason for the season” historically).

I don’t think anyone actually cares. It’s an artificial problem.

I hate when people tell me Happy Holidays or something similar. Please don’t take Christ out of my Christmas!
Merry CHRIST-mas, Everybody!

I’m offended only by people insisting that I view the world as they do. My message to them is KMFHA.
