Who is having turkey for Christmas dinner and why do some people get really upset when I write Merry Xmas in their cards?

I am having turkey. It upsets me too. As a Christian the whole point of the word is CHRISTmas. Xmas is an insult to the occasion.

WE ARE HAVING TURKEY AND GAMMON (THE KIDS DON'T LIKE TURKEY). WE ARE ALSO HAVING CHIPOLATAS WRAPPED IN BACON, STUFFING, BREAD SAUCE AND ALL THE TRIMMINGS.

I DON'T MIND IF PEOPLE WRITE 'HAPPY XMAS'. AS SOMEONE WHO WRITES ABOUT EIGHTY CARDS EVERY YEAR, BY THE TIME I GET TO NUMBER 60, I AM DOING WHATEVER I CAN TO SHORTEN THE MESSAGE!

I suppose some people find 'Xmas' offensive for religious reasons - personally I just think 'I see, I'm that important to them that they couldn't write four extra letters...'

I think it is lazy, rude, disrespectful, sexist, homophobic and racist to write 'Merry Xmas' in cards.

I am like you oldspice having so many cards to write. By the last few I am scribbling my name. Maybe we should start writing them in January then by Christmas we will be sorted.

How many cards have you written this year robbie?

robbie · « **Reply #8 on:** December 23, 2004, 05:44:56 pm »

About 30.

Bounty is right - you should write "Happy Midwinter Solstace" (feel free to correct my spelling) - Christians hijacked the pagan festival ala all religions do to attempt to ensure that theirs is the only faith celebrated. Weak.

With the exception of 'All Hallow's Eve' (Halloween), which remains a pagan festival. The timing of Easter, though a Christian festival, is still determined by pagan tradition, i.e. the phase of the moon between March 21st and April 18th.
