Not sure what you're talking about, but personally, NO ONE will stop me from saying Merry Christmas, no matter if it "offends" them! Those type of individuals offend me!
Nor do I care if anyone doesn't say Merry Christmas. Each to their own, and leave them alone! I kinda like that little rhyme.
I have yet to meet anyone who actually gives a shit what holiday greeting I use. Nor have I ever met anyone who’s ever tried to stop me, or anyone else, from saying “Merry Christmas”.
To the extent that people use something like “Happy Holidays” instead of Merry Xmas, it’s always appeared to me to be an attempt to be more inclusive, acknowledging that some people celebrate axial tilt differently than others, *not* as a snub at Christians or Christ.
Do people actually try and stop you from saying Merry Christmas?
It seems like its usually the other way around. When a big company changes their greeting to Happy Holidays there is a very vocal group of people saying that it is an attack on Christmas.
Also, saying that you hope to offend people by saying Christmas doesn’t really seem to be in the spirit of the holiday
