They can take their holiday they stole

And shove it straight up their tookus.

According to this Yahoo!News article from the AP wire:

". . .urging Christians to spend their money only with merchants who include the greeting "Merry Christmas" in ads and displays."

I heard about the ruckus that some christians were making about Macy's telling its employees to say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. The article says:

In California, a group called the Committee to Save Merry Christmas is boycotting Macy's and its corporate parent, Federated Department Stores, accusing them of replacing "Merry Christmas" signs with ones wishing shoppers "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays." The organization cites "the recent presidential election showing political correctness is offending millions of Americans."

(Federated, for its part, says that is has no ban on such greetings and that its store divisions can advertise as they see fit and store clerks are free to wish any customer "Merry Christmas." Macy's says its ads commonly use the phrase.)

Jackasses should get their story straight before boycotting a company. Or at least making such a big fuss about it. heh.

I remember working in retail, and during the holidays I would say Happy Holidays and not Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kanwaza, et al. No need to wish a Happy Hanukkah to a christian nor Merry Christmas to a jew or a muslim. Why would they care? So rather then try and guess what religion my customer was, I just used the general Happy Holidays.
