Guys, I've been researching it. And the real reason for the season is..... Chicken. That's right, chicken. I expect bumper stickers to be made pronto. Or was that seasoning?

Ah, but if you use "happy holidays", you are in the trenches of the war against Christmas. Interestingly, growing up, it was Christians who used 'happy holidays' as it was short for 'merry Christmas and a happy New Year". We also used Xmas, similar to how you will see usernames such as...

I think we are talking about what we call Christmas today too. Or at least, I was.

Yep, people call me 'heathen' both in a joking way, in an ironic way, and also as an insult. Similar to the word 'punk'. XD 'Non-believer' can also be considered insulting by some because it is a term used by a group A to define group B, but in a way that only refers to them in relation to...

My favorite part is that I actually don't have to work this Christmas. I am sleeping in...so...late. I'm not sure what origin that comes from though. I think the ancient rites of Couchpotato Clan.

Mm, Aquacake. Oh, and Spook...you just made the best typo ever, especially in the context of the post. Edit: Either you edited it, or I'm dyslexic. I'm thinking the latter. But trust me, it was a great momment of dyslexia.

So ludicrous that Christmas was banned by Christians in the 1600s for being viewed as non-Christian? I know a few mondern Christians who do not celebrate it for similar reasons. I read the point of this post as an explaination that Christmas has diverse roots and is also celebrated for those...

I'm honestly not sure how this could be seen as an attempt to assault someone's religion/faith. This was clearly stated to be a post about allowing everyone to share in a holiday that has diverse roots, in response to general statements that only one group should be allowed to enjoy in this...

Perhaps it's best to let folks believe how they choose I believe that is exactly the intent of this thread. Ie. More than one reason for the season, and to let others enjoy this wonderful time of the year.
