Understandable. If someone doesn't say 'Merry Christmas' for their own personal reasons, I don't care, and I wouldn't try to stop them. Even in popular media such as commercials or news websites, it's rare that they deviate from 'Happy Holidays'. It's a universal greeting, I know. But I have seen a few instances where people have been testy about the use of 'Merry Christmas'. Saying that 'Merry Christmas' is offensive is a bit much.
But this all my own opinion, unpopular or not. I appreciate the respect of your comment!

I see where you're coming from, and I respect it. You're right about the songs, and there is no real issue with Happy Holidays. I understand that it's a universal greeting. But like I've stated in a previous reply, there have been a few instances where the usage of the traditional 'American greeting' so to speak, has been shamed because it's not more up to date with social themes.
I live in a more liberal state, so it's probably more prominent where I am.
Yeah I agree people are going way too far sometimes to be people pleasers and politically correct. I mean sure use 'happy holidays' or aim it at other celebrations and cultures but I don't get why people flip just because you say 'happy xmas'. if someone doesn't use it you can correct yourself and/or say "sorry, i didn't knew you didn't celebrate christmas" or? It's like it'd be offensive to say "happy hanukkah" or any other holiday. Celebrate what you want and if people don't celebrate yours just ask/get to know what they do and say that. Love n peace and live n celebrate in peace.
And yeah about songs, I think people just don't have to turn them in or stop seeing dark messages everywhere. Even though we evolve I don't see a point in renewed everything just to erase it from history. Just tell people the context, and let them decide for themselves.
There are probably some songs I enjoy that tells about bad things but it's not that I intentionally seek out "bad" music and honestly there are way worse things than a line in a 40s song for the season...just saying.

I remember my online friend wishing me a Merry Christmas when I said it to him. A few days later I learned he was Jewish and didn't even celebrate Christmas. He could have been a jerk and gotten mad at me for not saying Happy Holidays but he didn't and that's how we all should be.
Exactly. You can't know what people celebrate and don't and some people might still do Christmas even if it's not part of their culture originally. I mean if people seriously find it offensive they need to chill down and live in peace.
Political correctness is a pain in the ass.
I don't care if people call me white, and I couldn't give a crap if they wished me a happy anything.
Soon nobody will be able to complete a sentence without consulting the politically correct handbook, for fear of insulting someone.
Lighten up world.
There a bigger problems out there.

“Grab her by the p****.... you can do anything”
Yeah political correctness sucks amirite?
Yeah, it's a nice difference between this and just being a decent, common courtesy person that has some respect. Like you should mind your manners but yeah wishing someone happy something and people calling it offensive because you don't know about holidays..yeah come on. I'd say tumblrina pc people has taken over a bit too much at times.
@N e s s I think they were referring to the society as a whole that you have to know all the terms and slang and speech or you could as well shut up.
Also yeah the Merry Christmas thing can be a bummer sometimes but if people are actually offended by the term “Merry Christmas” then that’s really there own problem. I moreso hear people get mad at me whenever I say “Happy Holidays” for this reason and I get “You’re supposed to say merry Christmas”
It isn’t a problem of “political correctness” it’s an issue of people getting offended over little things. I’m sick of that term “political correctness”, to me it is supposed to mean “don’t say stupid things that are offensive”- Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday are only politically incorrect when an individual makes them out to be.

I get that Sheila, but that simply just isn’t true. The whole “politically incorrect” scene is hyperbolic to me. You’re only offended by something unless you really make it out to be offensive. I personally hate the term because it’s become so watered down in American politics that it doesn’t mean anything anymore.

Yeah, I don't like the term too much but it's what a lot of people make it to be and apply to them that it would be the awesome thing ever. I don't get offended with people saying whatever happy to me or stuff but it's like people let a angry lil group setting the agenda for all of the population what they should say or use.
I mean sure you should respect people in stuff but I'm definitely pointing to these things when people look back at 30s-40s christmas songs and wanting to erase history because a lot of people never bother looking it up these days. I mean if you made a song and its only purpose is to shout n-word 15 times in a row then it's obviously offensive and maybe not a good thing to use these days but man kids need to be taught what was once and learn from it rather assuming it has always been this decade.

It was because someone pointed it out and it maybe got a bit overdrive here? And yeah I hate those rap and hiphop songs, they are basically anti-feminist "and lol kid anger i can't handle" and they(rappers) also get offended when people want them to talk about lyrics.
That right there should have full stop been the end of Trump.
I've always disagreed strongly with the Republicans/conservatives on a very fundamental level, but even I thought they would have the decency to drop someone who was proud of sexual assault.
Somehow even I overestimated them. They don't get to fly the flag of morality anymore.
Trump being abusive has nothing to do with what I was referring to.
Political correctness and outright abuse, are two different things.
Like I said. There are bigger problems in the world.

Figured I'd add my own.
-Fortnite can be pretty fun though it gets boring quickly. It's not as bad as people make it seem, but isn't phenomenal either.
-Coke, Pepsi, and all of their types (diet, zero cal, etc.) taste the same.
-Sleeping in socks is really nice especially in Winter.
-I don't really like Pocket Camp despite trying it twice.

Lol I like them enough, but tend to drink Fanta more. Pepsi is just less carbonated Coke to me.
