Do any of you non Christians get offended when someone wishes you a Merry Christmas?

Sadly too many so called Christians have bought into the commercialism of Christmas and only recognize it as one day instead of a season. My family celebrates the entire Christmas season and the birth of Christ.

True. Most dont look at as so much of a religious day & more of a cultural day. That is one of the reasons I laugh so much at whoever was posting non Christians cant celebrate Christmas LOL
In the US it is more cultural than it is religious.

Guess I just look at it differently.
If you do celebrate Christmas & say Merry Christmas to someone. You shouldnt get corrected by someone telling you Happy Holidays.

Same if I were Jewish. If I said Happy Hanukah. That shouldnt get corrected. Hell I am not jewish & if Jewish guy said Happy Hanukah in good spirits. I would think oh ok. & wish him a Happy Hanukah. I wouldnt be offended.
Chances are whoever is talking isn't celebrating all the holidays, so why say Happy Holidays?

But why would you wish happy Hanukkah to someone who doesn't celebrate the holiday?

Many christians and non christians have bought into it.

Like we said, it's a secular holiday now.

Do you want non Christians who celebrate Christmas to call it something else?

It is still religious to me and my family. We have a strong faith in God.

I am sure you are not the only ones. Doesnt mean non-religious people cant celebrate Christmas.

Not going to happen. It's evolved into more than being just a religious holiday.

Edit: I guess what do you mean by "respect"?

& the fact Christmas & its rituals werent originally a Christian holiday to begin with. They were adopted by the Christian religion to try & convert non Christians. Another reason I laugh at whoever it was saying non religious people cant celebrate Christmas.

I don't think anyone wants the holiday eliminated.

The point is that December has a couple holidays housed in it celebrated by a couple different religions. Saying "Merry Christmas" marginalizes those other holidays...at least that's the way I see it.

I don't think on religion or one holiday is better than another.

So you’re not aware of historical context.....but what you say is right and what anyone else says is not. Pretty much expected from you.

Happy fucking Holidays.

No different than someone celebrating Ramadan and saying “Oh Ramadan isn’t about Ramadan to me.”

Just an excuse. Admitting who you really are is hard for people.

If you were honest with yourself you would say “I really try to hate Jesus but I can’t.”

Serious question: Why are you so damn stupid?

to answer the original Question.
I am a non religious person & I say it should be called Merry Christmas. (that is what it is)
Happy Holidays people should get punched in the face! Reason being. All this overly Political Correctness is what's wrong with the world!

If you're offended by someone saying Happy Holidays to you, you are an epic pussy.

Grow a pair.

Some dont. But that is my point.
If you dont believe in the holiday, then why bother with Happy Holidays?
Happy Holidays was merely created by people wanting to complain over political correctness.
People saying Merry Christmas is talking of that particular day. Hanukah isnt on the 25th (I dont believe) I was curious if some other holiday is on the 25th?
Otherwise. Why is on Christmas the only holiday attacked by PCness.
All other religious holidays they dont say Happy Holidays.

So unless Christmas shares the 25th with another Holiday. Screw Happy Holidays.
