Oh good grief.
Yet another screed from a well-meaning but erroneous person who thinks Christ is being disrespected by saying "Seasons Greetings" and "Happy holidays".
Baloney!
Christians! Quit acting like something horrible happens that disrespects Christ when someone says "Seasons Greetings" and "Happy holidays!"
Just stop it! All you display is your own ignorance of your OWN HERITAGE!
Both sayings have been around for hundreds of years AND ARE IN AND OF THEMSELVES DERIVED FROM CHRISTIAN CELEBRATION OF CHRISTMAS!!
When people think they are being all "diverse" and "inclusive" by saying "Seasons Greetings" and "Happy holidays" they ACTUALLY are HONORING Christ--albeit unintentionally.
Why?
Because the "Seasons" in question are Advent, Christmas and Epiphany, and the holidays are all those feasts in December through Jan. 6!
So relax! Remove the cob and enjoy the holiday season. Say Merry Christmas as much and wherever you like, and when someone says "Seasons Greetings" or "Happy Holiday" YOU can be sure and secure in the knowledge that even if they don't know it, they have honored Jesus Christ the Son of God. So be gracious and say thank you and wish them a Merry Christmas right back!
That is all.
