HOT TOPIC #2
In his latest column, Pastor Brian Horrobin said refraining from greeting people with a hearty “Merry Christmas” due to a concern for causing offense is simply absurd.
Many people had something to say about it as well:
Sarah said on Facebook: “I love to say Merry Christmas, but if someone were to wish me a Happy Hanukkah, etc I would be just as happy because they are being nice .”
Rachelle said on Facebook: “I say merry Christmas at work to every customer and I have been thanked several times!!! They were glad to hear that instead of happy holidays.”
Chris said on Facebook: “If someone says Happy Holidays ask them “what holiday season is it ? “…. Oh ya its the Christmas holiday season.”
Brittany said on Facebook: “Oh my god, who cares? If you find your religion threatened because people are saying Happy Holidays instead Merry Christmas your religion must not be that strong anyway.”
Melanie said on Facebook: ” All people should respect all greetings during the holiday season because Christmas is not the only holiday during this time of year. It’s called respect for your fellow human beings.”
Margo said on Facebook: “It’s Merry Christmas for me. Has been for all of my 62 years and will continue to be to the end of my years.”
