Dash_Harber 11/22/17 5:10:50 PM #10:	I don't really care what others say, but I use Happy Holidays because I live in a multi-cultural country and I don't feel the need to be an asshole. I'm not insecure about my traditions, and don't feel I need to yell about them to everyone within earshot. You don't lose anything by including others. As for why businesses do it? I don't get what the problem is. The critics act like SJW Bogeyman rushed into the executives offices and held guns to their heads. Fact is, the businesses want to do it because they don't give a shit about your personal beliefs, they want money. Your money, Muslim's money, Buddhist's money, etc. They want to include everyone because they don't give a shit about your personal convictions or your traditions. Any belief that some faceless corporation is interested in promoting wholesome Christian values is 100x willful ignorance. <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:890884778] in Should peo...

Happy Holidays also includes all of them, so no matter what, I cover my bases. What you don't seem to get is that 'Happy Holidays' includes Christmas and every other holiday, it doesn't replace them.

I wouldn't expect a muslim in Iran to be saying Happy Christmas just as I'd not expect a christian in Italy to be saying Happy Hanukkah. If it's a secular state then it would come down more to what religious festival takes place and when. If it's Christmas Day then it's Happy Christmas, if it's a Sikh festival or a Hindu festival then the relevant names, if you're not interested in the festival then it's _______day.
