Re: Happy holiday / christmas / winter soltace?!

I'm Jewish.

I say "Happy Hannukah" to everybody.

I say "Merry Christmas to you, too" when I'm told "Merry Christmas".

Remember, the only people blowing this out of proportion are a small number of people from each and every social group. Most Jewish people aren't offended by "Merry Christmas". Same goes for Agnostics, Aethiests, Druids, etc.

As for the PC thing, I'd rather they just call it a "Christmas Tree", or put up "Christmas (insert thing here)". It's a cultural thing, and as Amy said, we all might as well learn to handle diversity. In my opinion, too much PC can destroy those fun differences.

Of course, there is a line where that stops applying, such as when something is forced. However, I am confident that if I ever feel offended by a religious expression, the group/individual stating it and myself will be able to come to an agreement. Political correctness overload may avoid conflicts, but it also stops people from learning how to resolve them should the need arise.
