No running around appeasing unappeasable relatives, no people bringing their weird cheese logs/snacks to your house and abandoning them, no preposterous gifting and re gifting, no remembering every special snowflakes dumb birthday. Plus you get all the days off, but with zero expectation of what is to be done with this glorious free time.

Theyve got 99 other things I dont like, but their holiday schedule is amazing.

Unless you are a kid, then you get screwed out of everything. And honestly, adults should just suck it up for the sake of the kids. If relatives are about drama, those relatives need not be invited.

Nobody goes around during ramadan saying "happy holidays".

It's being used in the guise of inclusiveness, to pander to the few (yet vocal) people who (cry, piss, and moan all the time) are not Christians in this nation. After hundreds of years of tradition of being a Christian people, Americans are leaving their faith in droves. (thanks to the leftist culture, and their control of the media) The moral decay on our society is starting to tear the country apart. Now it's to the point of people doing all they can NOT to upset a small minority of muslims and atheists, (who get angry when you say "Merry Christmas" to them) whereas it's perfectly OK to ignore or outright chastise the vast majority of the population who are Christians for their beliefs, because 9 times out of ten, they are so peace loving, the just roll with the punches.
Seems to me real Christians should be able to suck that up and manage pretty easily. So somebody who doesn't share your beliefs uses a generic greeting. Who cares? Say thank you, you too and move on. If somebody tells me Merry Christmas I say thank you, you too and move on, even if I'm not really very christian (except on Christmas). People have also said "Happy Holidays" I say "thank you, you too" and move on. Some folks have wished me a Happy Hannakah, I said "thank you, you too" and moved on. And even though it's a completely made up, recently created bit of nonsense, if some black guy wished me "Happy Kwanza" I'd say "thank you, you too" and would move on. I mean wouldn't that be the christian thing to do? Not trying to be presumptuous, but that is what I'd do if I was a practicing christian given what I know.

Seems like a really stupid thing to get divided over. This isn't like trannies using the same bathroom your kids are in. This is about celebrating the holidays over which there are more than one and they have some overlap. Thanksgiving to New Years are a time when we should do our best to get over our own crap and have a good time and enjoy what we have and make sure the kids have fun.
