Are you offended? (hell, church, quote, Jewish)

Are you offended if someone says "Happy Holidays" instead of Merry Xmas?

If you are not Christian does it bother you when people assume you are by wishing you a Merry Xmas?

Nope, the closest I come to is laughing my head out at secular champs who sing theology-ridden Christmas carols.

They even have buzz words like "Saviour", "Almighty", "Christ the King"

I don't get offended by any friendly comment .

Not at all..That would be silly.

well it gets a lil strange when it happens in my church and we are both members.

This is my first post, so first I'd like to say hello....

Regarding the topic, someone saying Merry Christmas to me would not offend me just as someone saying Happy Hanukah would not offend me, even though I'm not jewish.

However, I do respect that it offends others, so I try to use the generic "Happy Holidays"

Nope. No more offended than I am when I see a Santa at the mall. I know he's not real, either.

No, I am one of those who says happy holidays because Christmas is not my holiday and I don't want to assume everyone does Christmas. So I say Happy holidays.
