Some stupid fat lady at a store the other day told me "Happy Holidays" I looked at her and said "Merry Christmas" I should of told her she was a fat pig that should be eaten for Christmas.
Christmas is Christmas...just like how Valentine's Day is Valentine's Day...and Easter is Easter...and 4'th of July is the 4'th of July...and Cinco De Mayo is Cinco De Mayo... etc etc;
Saying 'Happy Holidays' sounds weird and vague and bland and boring and meaningless.
Regardless of what religion or values you have...we all basically...more or less...celebrate the same/all holidays. no point in being sensitive or anal about it.
if you ask me...religion/values/holidays/etc is a dying concept anyways. -- we're all lumped into one category...and everything is just a silly business/economic event anyways where businesses market to us.
Why would you say either? Have you been out on the roads over the last few days? The greeting I use most at this time of year is "Learn to fucking drive, you idiot!".
You can say either anywhere you damn well please. Fuck anyone who's offended. If something so minute can upset a certain sector of our society, those people don't deserve to exist among us.
