Christmas no longer polically correct?

but at the same time would you think it's disrespectful to tell someone Merry Christmas when chances are they don't celebrate it?

So what are we supposed to to alleviate this? The day after Thanksgiving, everyone put patches on their shirts or jackets reading, "Hi. I celebrate________" on them?

It's not ignorant to NOT know someone else holiday background. (Not talking to you) don't take offense if I am being genuine and say Merry Christmas as a nice gesture to the holidays. If I were a cashier and liked to wish some a Merry Christmas after they're about to leave my register, I shouldn't have to ask them their religious preference first. Later, QD.

We don't need to visit Nazi Germany with ppl wearing patches again to separate themselves from society. LoL

If a brown/middle eastern person came up to your register, would you still say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays? I work at a bar and usually say Merry Christmas b/c I know that most of my clientele are Christian. For those I do not know, I just use Happy Holidays.

Exactly, lolol.

Well that's a tough one, too. When working for Budweiser for 8 years, you can imagine how many people of Middle Eastern descent I cam across. And do you know that well over half of them actually celebrated Christmas? You just don't know. Later, QD.
