Merry Christmas to you to (Heathen Pede here - in all seriousness).
I never understood what the problem people who are not Christian have with celebrating Christian holidays at least in spirit, if not in religion.
As a person of faith, I have no problem celebrating the religious holidays of other faiths.
We are all on the same journey together.
Yet, these same people who are complaining have no issue celebrating Kwanzaa, or Juneteenth, or Pride month, whether or not their background corresponds to the holiday.
They have already succeeded in getting the words, "Christmas Vacation" and "Merry Christmas" and so forth removed from schools, from the Christmas season, work places. I agree that these "diversity groups" can put their feelings where the sun don't shine.
Not just schools. My town I live in doesn’t do “Christmas in the Village” anymore. It’s call the Winter Wonderland festival now. Ever since this change I refuse to participate
The premise of the article is one of the stupidest ideas I have ever seen.
Nobody forces anyone to participate. In fact several groups already celebrate alternate holidays to Christmas, but that doesn’t mean we need to get rid of Christmas.
This sounds like it was written by some bored activist-journalist dumbass, with no real ideas and an editorial deadline.
Abandon Christmas (something almost everyone celebrates) to make room for BS holidays. Don't want to exclude anyone, so we should exclude most of America. Idiot.
Simple those who do not want to be associated with christianity don't get free days, presents, nor bonuses for christams. Why should you? If they hate it so much
I've never celebrated Christmas all my life and all my life I never felt excluded, I respect those the celebrates it & people never disrespected my belief - this diversity group demanding this are a bunch of retards.
If you can pay one professional singer, that person will carry the ball, so to speak. If you can get one man and one woman professional caroler, that will be even better.
Christmas was a syncretic holiday based on earlier pagan traditions as Jesus was born in the spring. Christmas has already been rethought as most of the focus is on trees, lights, snowmen, presents, and santa and not Jesus
I am fascinated with the eventual morphing of Greek Saint Nicholas into the Germanic Father Christmas so as to make it more culturally palatable to the northern folks.
I think history is neat. So is putting actual burning candles on a tree indoors, not a fire hazard at all. Swedish, I think.
I really don't care if people feel left out or excluded.
None of these 'diversity' groups seem to be interested in me feeling left out or excluded.
They would feel that way if they accepted a little Christmas spirit into their ape hearts.
It's straight out of the divide and conquer playbook.
Don't forget, they're also getting rid of Thanksgiving.
Literally, any public holiday that binds the people of a country together (any country), is anathema to their strategy of division and chaos.
It just so happens that America is Christian. But similar "liberalism" is being conducted in the Middle East (Muslim), India (Hindu), and so on.
Anything to keep every country divided and in a state of non-kinetic civil war.
Merry Christmas. Fuck you, heathens!

I tell people Happy Yule.
Happy 12 days of Saturnalia, Lion food.

It's time to rethink chanukah/hannukkah because less than half of the world is Jewish.
I'd prefer to start with Kwanzaa, Juneteenth, Pride month.
Pride month. Because most of the world isn't full of faggots.
Ah the fake ones.
Time to rethink LGBTQ+ as 90% of country is straight.
They get you to stop celebrating your culture, then they move on promoting theirs and excluding you.
What about Hanukkah? Or is more than half the country Jewish?
deep inhale
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Christmas isn't something that's denied to people who want to participate. These diversity groups can go choke to death on a diverse set of cocks.
Simple those who do not want to be associated with christianity don't get free days, presents, nor bonuses for christams. Why should you? If they hate it so much
Is that 3 trannies?
I'm suddenly Irish on st Patrick's day
It’s already become a secular worship of consumerism.
Send them to Iran.
That half the country statistic is for the UK
They are all about diversity, but they want to destroy everything that make us unique. They want us gender less, no race without any tradition.
I've never celebrated Christmas all my life and all my life I never felt excluded, I respect those the celebrates it & people never disrespected my belief - this diversity group demanding this are a bunch of retards.
Carol harder.
You are getting that going.
If you can pay one professional singer, that person will carry the ball, so to speak. If you can get one man and one woman professional caroler, that will be even better.
Order the sweets now, to give out. Wear hats.
Christmas needs to be re-thought. These diversity clowns should be told where to go AND receive a MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Now do Ramadan
Great idea! If you guys are done with celebrating Christmas, how about we throw out the ecumenical consumerism and celebrate Jesus instead?
Time to rethink Ramadan as half of country not Muslim (yet).
They can fuck off. I’m sticking with my 2500 year old holiday.
Ahh, the ugly women's group.
The attack on Christianity is always led by the kazar tiny hat types. Always.
They hate it. They are not taught to coexist peacefully with it.
