Target

[sbuff]

Went to local target today to get the last of the last items for all .

I'm in the check out line paying and I say thank you and merry Christmas to the cashier,she says to me you can't say that . I said I just did , I then asked her if she worked on December 25 and she says no she has it off for Christmas. I then say see , you have it off for Christmas not happy holidays day . 

I then left saying ,where I come from its merry Christmas and Happy new year to all .

Merry Christmas To All!!!

I work in a public school district. That's what I say there too.

I've noticed more places saying Merry Christmas again instead of happy holidays. I just grunt or say Bah Humbug in return to simplify everything.

I find myself saying both interchangeably. No rhyme or reason, sometimes it’s Happy Holidays, sometimes it’s Merry Christmas. As far as I know, I haven’t offended anyone.

I do always try to return whatever greeting I’m given. I figure that if that’s what the person is comfortable with, then I can oblige them.

I only say Merry Christmas.

Out of all the rude things people say to strangers, I still don't understand why Merry Christmas bothers them so much.

Emphasis on the Christ.

The reason for the season is Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Agreed, ITs certainly Merry Christmas.. I know when I have mentioned Happy Holidays in the past.. It was Combining both Merry Christmas with Happy New Year.. I guess bc its shorter? I'm not sure lol. But I will do my best to start saying HAve a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

The only time it's "Happy Holidays" from me is if i know someone celebrates differently during this time, ie. Hanukkah. If i don't know, then its Merry Christmas.

It's an expression of good will. No one should take offense to having someone say Merry Christmas , Happy Holidays, Happy Winter Solstice, etc. 

Say thanks and go about your day.
