People are proud to be saying Merry Christmas again. I am proud to have led the charge against the assault of our cherished and beautiful phrase. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Thank you Mr. Trump. I used to have to write “Merry Christmas” on a little slip of paper and slide it across the table to my priest who ate it immediately

Hard to believe that only a year ago people were thrown in jail for saying "Merry Christmas" but now thanks to @RealDonaldTrump we can say anything we want.. except "Diversity," "fetus," "transgender," "vulnerable," "entitlement," "science-based" and "evidence-based." #Freedumb

Happy Every Holiday
Colorado, Holidays, Religion, Retail, USA | Right | December 21, 2017
(It’s that time of year where people are getting upset over “Happy Holidays” instead of just saying “Merry Christmas.” I have had many people point this out and complain when I wish them a Happy Holidays after check out, so after the third one I start saying something else. And before you guys ask I did in fact look everything up that I didn’t know and a few of these things I knew before hand.)
Me: “Thank you, sir, Happy Holidays!”
Customer: “Why do people say that? You don’t have to be politically correct all the time!”
Me: “I’m sorry, sir. Have a Happy Hanukkah!”
Customer: “I don’t celebrate that.”
Me: “Sorry, sir, but today is the third day of Hanukkah. That’s the holiday going right now.”
Customer: “But I don’t celebrate that!” *leaves with a huff*
(Later that day
Me: “Thank you, ma’am. Happy Holidays!”
Customer: “Oh, sweety, I’m a Christian. Please don’t say that to me.”
Me: “Oh! Well, Happy Saint Lucia’s Day, then!”
Customer: “What are you talking about?”
Me: “That’s the Christian holiday today. Are you celebrating with family?”
Customer: “What? No! I celebrate Christmas at the end of the month. That’s the only Christian holiday!” *she storms off*
(I said Happy Advent. I said ChristmaHanukkwanza once. The eight nights of Hanukkah were fun because they were early in the month that year. There are many holidays I said that were real and going on. I did this multiple times and was surprised I wasn’t fired, but my manager thought it was entertaining. Honestly, we are all tired of getting yelled at for saying Happy Holidays, which we are supposed to say to not upset anyone.)
