I completely agree with this! I'm not offended by any of these...if someone said one of these phrases to me, I would simply say thank you and respond in kind.

I don't understand what the big deal is either.


Edited to add one that isn't in the picture but should be! Thank You Peacebird!

Bright Blessings of the Solstice

1. I like that

I have relatives among the "victimized Christians" crowd who are going to say Merry Christmas (because it is persecuting them to say some people don't celebrate it and Happy Holidays is more neutral).

2. Bright Blessings of the Solstice is also acceptable! And the only complaint people could have to the

OP was that they were too reasonable, IMHO.

4. I thought of adding...

a 'Solstice' greeting, I'm going to edit the OP..

Thank You!

7. Cheers! And thank you for such a wonderful, sensible, inclusive post!

3. The only war is the one against the 'War on Christmas.'

The War on the 'War on Christmas' is just contrived and, well, dumb. Gets people's panties in a bunch over absolutely nothing.

Who can go anywhere and not see CHRISTMAS all over the place?

I like your graphic, but I'd say black folks generally don't celebrate Kwanzaa in lieu of Christmas. (Not that I'd think this is news to you.)

5. But if you're Muslim,

Don't say Happy Ashura.

Santa ain't comin' to your house anyway.

6. Santa also doesn't come to Jewish households. Not sure I understand your objection?

The OP is all about not taking offense at any happy holiday greeting, regardless of religion. Why are you singling out Muslims?
