Yes, the article's biased as hell, and no, I don't care, because it's completely right: people need to quit getting their panties twisted over whether people say "merry Christmas" or "happy holidays."

If you don't care then don't post anything about it and let people get angry if they want.

Good. We need people to fight back since no one wants us saying "Merry Christmas". >_>

Don't agree with the punching though...

I had someone call the store today to say they heard we were not allowing our employees to say "Merry Christmas". I explained to her that they could in fact say Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Kwanza, or any other holiday greeting… or they could simply say none. I had to struggle to not dress her down over the phone, I really can't stand outraged ignorant Christians who don't understand the true origins and nature of December 25th. For crying out loud people, read a fucking book.

Just don't read one by Glenn Beck or Palin, it'll make your problem worse.

I thought it would be the other way around, because some people get pissed if you say "Merry Christmas" to them.

I kinda forced myself to say Happy Holidays to people when I work (I work at American Eagle, and Radio Shack).

I'll get my "panties twisted" over what ever the hell I want to, thanks.

That being said, dude shouldn't have been punched although it irks me when people say holiday and full well know what they're talking about. Just stupid.

Your holiday isn't the only holiday that falls around this time. People who interact with large numbers of people are aware of this fact and say "happy holidays" in order to avoid wishing a Jewish person a merry Christmas.

If you take a moment to go outside and look up at the glowing orb of light in the sky, you might notice that you aren't, in fact, the center of the solar system.

Ridiculous on so many levels. First, being 'offended' that someone said 'happy holidays' instead of 'merry christmas' shows that person to be an utterly pathetic individual. Then, to actually physically assault another person, basically in the name of Jesus/Christianity, demonstrates the person to be totally ignorant of the teachings of the very religion they are defending.

This is the same brand of insanity you see with muslims freaking out about muhammed cartoons.

I've worked at my job for 7 and a half years. I've only ever said, "Merry Christmas" and I've never once had a problem. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. >_>

When did I EVER say or hint it was the only holiday? Maybe you should develop some reading comprehension then try and throw insults out.

Funny that a Christian attacked a fellow human being when their God ment to be all loving and that they should treat others how they want to be treated themselves.

Jesus in the Bible said Love thy Neighbor. He supposely said everyone is invited to my table. A Christian woman assaults a woman who didn't say Merry Christmas wouldnt be approved by Jesus.

I am not religious, I am just quoting simple things in the bible the Christians are supposely taught.

For anyone who gets offended for someone saying Merry Christmas needs to just chill. If the person is saying it as a way to be friendly and nice in a time of year that gives joy to people, then they arent saying it because of its religion. Im not against people saying Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, to me is the same meaning as so long as its traditional.

“The lady looked at me, I thought she was going to put money in the kettle. She came up to me and said, ‘Do you believe in God?’ And she says, ‘You’re supposed to say Merry Christmas,’ and that’s when she hit me.”

lf the story of that Salvation Army bellringer is true, the female who hit her should be ashamed of herself.

Having heard about this " War on Christmas" thing in the US the past few years thanks to Youtube, I think I speak for a major part of those living outside of the US, and possibly a good portion of those sane within the US, when I say to those who argue about this "issue"

What the f*** is wrong with you people?

What type of punch was it, a jab, a hook, an uppercut?

In all seriousness though she shouldn't've punched the lady.

That being said I prefer the greeting "Merry Christmas". "Happy Holidays" seems to be a bit of an "artificial" greeting, used mostly among people who don't really know each other (i.e. in work or in school). Also I could the phrase "Happy Holidays" being used around the Christmas season, but on Christmas Day itself "Merry Christmas" seems a more appropriate greeting.

That being said I don't think businesses should tell their employees to say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas", I would leave that up to the employee.

I don't get all this "Happy Holidays" bullshit. Christmas is a secular holiday and should be treated as such. Just keep the religious Christmas music (stuff about baby Jesus and shit) out of it.

You do realize that holidays have occurred on this day thousands of years before the supposed time of Christ, right? You do realize Christmas is a pagan holiday adapted by Christians in direct violation of the bible, right? You do realize the key points of the life and death of Jesus are lifted from other messiah characters that predate Jesus, right?

@Rudolph ..... I'm a non religious person myself .... but I just hate watching the Bigotry of Atheist in recent years....... seems like "atheist is already become another organised reliG***

It's no different with some fundementalist groups in a Muslim nation that forbid their followers from saying "Merry Xmas"
