Who cares what the greeting is? By the time you've had 8 Manhattans at the office party and start in on some groping games with the secretaries you shouldn't care if it's Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Kwanza, or Happy Holidays, because pinching her luscious butt is something she'll let you do only once per year.

You celebrate the holidays for Christmas, not for anything else. I know there are are non-major holidays in December, such as Hanukkah... but we're not in Israel !
You do not say Happy Holidays for other holidays - it's only during Christmas season.

I know not everybody celebrate Christmas, but 97% of Americans do.
Just because we have nearly 2% Jews in America doesn't mean we have to change our world holiday greeting to Happy Holidays !

In Europe, millions of muslims lives there, but people still greet them Merry Christmas.

Who cares if they get offended? This is America, a by far majority Christian nation. I don't think people in Israel would get about changing their holidays and greeting for the Christian ones'

Don't get me wrong, nothing against the jews... I have many jewish friends. But right thing should be done.
Don't greet the Jews Merry Christmas if you are scared of them. BUT DO NOT CHANGE GREETINGS ON STORES TO HAPPY HOLIDAYS WHEN YOU KNOW IT'S FOR CHRISTMAS !

"Holiday cards, Holiday tree, Holiday lights, Holiday sales" - I mean it must be a joke!
Is this a Christian sentiment?

I so agree. I for one have enough problems to worry about if people are politically correct or not. I don't care what people say.

Neither have I .. it usually comes from people of the liberal persuasion.
