Both sides of this issue are fucking morons who are going as far out of their way to be offended as possible.
If someone wishes you "Merry Christmas" and you ain't a Christian who cares, would you rather they were saying get the fuck out my my town you damn infidel?
On the flip side if you are a Christian and someone dares to include other perfectly legitimate end of the year holidays by saying "Happy Holidays" you got no business getting your panties in a wad just because they don't share your particular religious hallucinations.
Both sides need to grow up and accept the greetings in the way they are offered. When someone wishes you well accept the fact that they are being nice and don't be a dick because you don't like the particular way they did it.
Similarly, quit your friggin bitching and moaning because someone dares to show a religious symbol or a Christmas tree, or a Menorah, or any other symbol. The fact is this time of year is considered a time of celebration for pretty much every society on the face of the earth and has been fro thousands of years and people celebrating what is important to them doesn't impact you in any way shape or form. Grow up and recognize that as long as no one is shoving a gun in your face and telling you who to pray to you ain't being religiously oppressed so stop looking for reasons to feel that way.
