also try not to be politically correct all it causes is problems and heartache, i wish people a happy Hanukkah all the time and im not even jewish, and also atheists (in America at least) celebrate christmas as well

haha id have to agree with peachey, if someone is offended by the most wonderful time of the year there is something wrong with them

Peachy is the idiot. It is a new world. Mass communication, internet, world-wide immigrations to many countries, etc. etc. A multitude of races, colors, and creeds mixing together in today's cities. You cannot always tell by looking who is christian, muslim, jew, mormon, or ... atheist!!!??? (OH my Dog! An atheist!! Kill him!!) Yes, some people will be ... offended? ... annoyed? ... angered? Who knows? Why do you feel compelled to yell "Joyous celebration of christ's mass honoring the birth of our lord and savior!!!!" Think about it. That's what you're shouting, really, isn't it? Feel free with family, friends, colleagues -- fellow worshipers that you know believe as you do. For total strangers, better stick with, "Have a nice day."

It's Christmas, so say "Merry Christmas"! :) If the person is offended, they're an idiot.

"Enjoy these vacation time/days" should solve that etymon ;-)
