Why do we even need these sayings? Not just Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, but all of them.

When someone tells me "Merry Christmas" I always say back "Happy Hanukkah!"  If they say "I'm not Jewish!" then I respond "I'm not Christian."  It puts them in a really odd spot.

...and I'm not Jewish either.

I like that! Most of the time I hear Merry Christmas from someone it's at a cash register. I just ignore it. I figure it's the same as them saying "have a nice day", they don't really mean any of it. It's just something to say.

Since we aren't religious I don't really say anything to people one way or the other. I celebrate the winter solstice , but I wouldn't tell people Happy Solstice .

 I celebrate the winter solstice. .

I think it's ridiculous on a verbal level. I can understand businesses doing the Happy Holidays thing to keep all their customers happy. But in a plain sense the individual saying it is just wishing you a good day. Nobody cares except the extremists.

Happy Festivus for the rest of us.

We're a social species that enjoys interacting with each other through spoken forms of communication?

Geeze...Everything is so picked apart these days.

Christmas is the federal holiday that is recognized, so Merry Christmas it is!
