Are you offended by the use of the word Christmas like in “Christmas party”?

♦ Phoenix Rising♦: Are you offended by the use of the word Christmas like in “Christmas party”?
or do seeing “christmas trees” offend you because you are not Christian or do not celebrate Christmas?

I miss having a tree at work but since it can “offend” people and a lawsuit could unfold, we don’t have them anymore.
It kind of takes some joy away for me.

Well if you are not a Christain and don’t celebrate Christmas, then how does it offend you? If you don’t celebrate it that is okay you have your own beliefs but a lot of people do celebrate Christmas and are Christains.

I am offended when people take Christmas away ….
we cannot offend others by saying Christmas but noone has a problem offending us by NOT saying Christmas.
We can say Happy Kwanza or Hannukah but not Christmas!!!! How rude.
I have no problem wishing others whatever their religion goes by, but please show me the same respect….

Answer by steelmillcowboy
Political correctness stinks, doesn’t it? (By the way, I wouldn’t mind of someone told me Happy Hanukkah, or some other holiday, even though I’m Christian) I don’t know why the Political correctness crowd can’t have the same tolerance for holidays and traditions that have Christian roots.

Answer by bigcitygrl2000
I absolutely am NOT offended by the use of the word Christmas and don’t really understand why people are. Christmas is the appropriate name for the holiday. It is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. I don’t ask anyone to believe if they don’t want to, but you can’t really deny the name of the holiday, considering that we wouldn’t even have Christmas if it weren’t for Jesus. I think that people have the right to choose what they believe in and what they celebrate, but I don’t think that we should be forced to observe a “non-holiday” just because other people don’t celebrate it. I am not Jewish, I don’t celebrate Hannukah, but I’m not offended when Jewish people celebrate it. It’s the same principle.

No. December 25th is a national holiday approved by Congress. You need to put up your decorations and tell your boss her argument is with the U.S. Congress.

If I want to say the word Christmas, and someone gets offended, that person will just have to cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it !! Leave off the ‘ mas ‘ at the end, and you have a GOOD reason why some people get offended. Too bad !!

Answer by skipjack
I didn’t know anybody was offended by Christmas. That’s pretty dumb of them if they are. I never had any problem with the expression ‘Happy Holidays’ either though. I always thought it covered Christmas and New Year’s, but it doesn’t bother me a bit if people use it to include Hannakuh, Kwanza, and the Super Bowl too.
