Does Christmas offend you?

[Mentor]

Both are good, Christmas rocks :p Gotta do somthin for the solace :p

Can't really see why any well ajusted human would be offended by ether name though o.0

[Technologic]

It offends me just as much as somebody saying "Eid Mubarak" or "Gmar chatimah tovah"

[VirtualG]

why would it?

I'd ask, if Christmas offends you; what are you doing in this country?.

[NIKKEE]

No, and it shouldn't offend others. Why would anyone say Happy Holidays? The whole point of the time of year is that it's Christmas, other religions have times of the year when they celebrate, which I'm sure is widely known in their countries. This is a Christian country, so why would you be offended. I wouldn't be offended if someone was enjoying their religions holiday, such as Hanukkah, if someone said Happy Hanukkah, I'd just think it was nice someone was trying to spread the joy of their own belief. There's loads of atheists who celebrate Christmas and don't see it as a religious celebration, but it is, and they don't get offended by that.
Oh and God didn't say we should all celebrate Christmas together, since Christmas isn't mentioned in the bible, Jesus' birth is, but they don't call it Christmas in the bible. Christmas was made much later, and now we have Santa and all the rest as well.
But really, all in all, I couldn't care less, I just like Christmas and I hope no-one ever ruins it for me.

People who are offended by 'merry christmas' make me sick. Even if you don't celebrate christmas, the phrase has been said to you with good intention... why so offended?

[Kieeran]

Both mean the same thing :/ But some people ahve been known to get offended (mainly middle to late generations).

The only annoying thing about Christmas is that it's advertised waaaaay too early making it the year's most boring holiday. November should be the earliest Christmas is advertised, not August and/or September :/

Yeh you see these xmas catalogues advertised in jan n feb is a bit of a joke

Christmas (like many other christian holidays) is a replacement of a pagan holiday. If you believed that Jesus would have been born at that time you would be wrong (that is if you even believe in Jesus, I believe there was a jesus but I dont htink he was a son of god, mainly coz I dont think theres a god) as he would have been born in september, the reason for it being celebrated at that time of year is because the roman emperor at the time that christianity all of a sudden became popular (right after the age of the martyrs) is so that they could keep the calender ver similiar, with holidays being in the virtual same position.
