I am not the best Christian. However, I celebrate Christ.

So, Merry Christmas, friends!

Most everyone I have told "Merry Christmas" has responded in kind. Most people seem hesitant to say it first. I let them know that I'm not PC when it comes to Christmas.

I've been experiencing the same thing. It's really cool to hear some tradition.

The Salvation Army not wishing "Merry Christmas?" Unfrigginbelievable!

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!!!!!
I wish more people saw it for what it was. You nailed it

I have no problem with anyone greating me with "Happy Holidays", but I usually return the greeting with "Thank you, and Merry Christmas".
Don't confuse the day with the season.

I'm not proud of this, but I have grown indifferent to Christmas at every level.
