    Some people prefer saying “happy holidays” as “Christmas” has religious meanings and people somehow got it in their minds that the woke left is trying to censor their Christmas.
    Or atleast that’s the idea. I’ve never met anyone who’s offended by “merry Christmas” and I’ve never met anyone who’s offended by “happy holidays”. But that’s just my experience. Maybe it’s different where other religions are more common, where I live is really Christian.

      People really do get offended by happy holidays. They’re brainwashed to think their religion is under attack, even though Christmas has fuck all to do with Christianity. If Jesus existed he certainly wasn’t born in late December. We know this because the passages from their book mention people bringing in the harvest at the time.

      I’m an atheist and I say Merry Christmas because it makes people happy.
