Nope, don't feel pressured to say either one. Sometimes I say one, sometimes the other, and sometimes neither.

Who feels pressured to say either one? Sounds like that person probably has some social issues they need to work out.

Can't we wait for "the war on Christmas" until AFTER my jack-o-lantern rots?

Before long we'll be having this "war on Christmas" crap around Easter time.

Well, yeah, Christmas is a religious holiday, but these days many people that are from other religions celebrate Christmas as well more as a holiday since its a large tradition in this country.

I wonder do you feel pressured or obligated to say "Happy Holiday" instead of "Merry Christmas"?
No. I do not fear the PC police.

People have become too easily offended and need to lighten up.

Haha, so true. It seems Christmas is officially consuming several different holidays and months.

Not this tired old issue again... if you expect to be told merry christmas and someone says happy holidays...and that p*sses you off... go jump off a bridge already...or better yet wear the biggest god damn cross you can find on your neck so everyone knows you're a christian and will tell u what you feel you should be told...I dunno what to do for your people
Some how you think ALL Christians are insecure......nice post!

You do seem to bash Christians, can you tell us which party do you support?

The economy's still weak. Retailers need a couple of extra months to hype whatever this year's gotta have gift will be.

Here in Texas, this'll be popular. again.

Still many available in a red state near you.

Until Christmas day is no longer called Christmas day, why would anyone say anything different than "Merry Christmas"?
