SATAN
And since Satan is the negation of God, we can be sure he's going to take something like CHRISTmas and turn it into something pagan and secular, which is why we have to greet each other with terms the atheists and secularlists love, like "Happy Holidays" and "Seasons Greetings" instead of "Merry CHRISTmas".
It's TIME we TOOK BACK CHRISTMAS.

Actually, the person we know as "Santa Claus" is actually St. Nicholas, a bishop from what we would know as Turkey.
You can have it. It's too materialistic for me anyway.
'Jesus christ' can be rearranged into, "such jest, sir", and it contains the word, "CURSE". 'Holy Bible' can be rearranged to spell, "hi, bell-boy", "lib by hole" and "libel by ho" and it also contains the word, "HELL".
There is nothing wrong with wishing someone a "merry christmass". It's the name of the critter so there is no need to invent some other term. Just remember that there are other reasons to celebrate christmass than the birth of Jesus. People can celebrate all kinds of things then because it's a time when almost everyone gets a time-out from work. And when do you celebrate? When people can celebrate with you. Gemütlichkeit (Why haven't you guys got an English term for this?) is reason enough to get together, but that might just be a Dutch/German train of thought.
You forget a little point. In this season, other people like moslems, Jewish or Hindu people conmemorate other celebration and Christmas is only circunscribed to Dec 25. In the Catholic world we also celebrate the Twelfth Night and the Epifany. So, happy holidays is a way to guarantee that you´re greeting somebody for the festivities they do celebrate. And your letter change, it´s a mental summervault and has nothing to do with reality.
Oh, not this crap again. This is the fifth time I've seen this crap. What? Do fundies share a single brain cell? Is that why all their arguments are absolutely the same?
People use the term "Happy Holidays" because here in America, Jews elevated the relatively minor holiday of Hanukkah to be a sort of Jewish Christmas, so the Jewish kids didn't feel left out. The atheists have nothing to do with it. It's a way that well-meaning members of the Christian culture in this country (and not fundies) try to make everyone feel welcomed without having to guess whether they're Christian or Jewish.
Lion seems to have trouble understanding the concept that there are other holidays in December besides Christmas.It's TIME we TOOK BACK CHRISTMAS
Take it back from whom? Who's stopping Lion from celebrating Christmas? This is just another fundie trying to paint himself as some sort of victim. He doesn't like "Happy Holidays"? OK, Lion - have a shitty holiday, you whiner.
Christmas was never taken away, not even by the Grinch! So knock off the cheap histrionics; you are NOT being persecuted. Just because some people are sensitive enough to include non-Christians in their holiday greetings does NOT devalue Christmas or your faith. So be good, for goodness' sake.Tiny Bulcher: Redhunter is right -- mad props to you! And remember, everybody: There's no "L" in Christmas! Get it? "Noel"? (*dodges thrown tomatoes*) Thank you! I'll be here all week!

It's TIME we TOOK BACK CHRISTMAS. Segata Sanshiro .
Err, I've yet to meet an athiest who doesn't say Merry Christmas, and being one myself I can say that *I* say Merry Christmas as well. The holiday is, after all, called Christmas, so it's no different than saying Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Halloween, Happy Fathers Day, or anything else. Next you'll be making the claim atheists won't refer to weekdays, since all are named after Greek, Roman, and Norse gods :P
More persecution hoopla. You can say "Merry Christmas" every 5 minutes if you want, nobody cares. But if you want to "take back Christmas" from the evil secular society, you should concentrate on behaving as your christ did--healing the poor, feeding the hungry, etc.--and demonstrate that christianity is really something special, not whine about being persecuted like a three-year-old who wants more candy. Grow the fuck up already. You've got bigger problems than Santa Claus, you halfwit.
How come I've been celebrating Christmas for 52 years and for that matter, Hanukkah with my Jewish neighbors and Yule with my pagan friends and nobody ever felt their holiday had been kidnapped by anybody until you fundies came around and starting whining about "taking back Christmas"?
Oh my God! An anagram! How horrible and sneaky of those Satanic Cults!
While you're at it, why don't you reveal the shocking revolution of Disney & the Gay Agenda teaming up to seduce children away from Christianity with Kingdom Hearts? Damn that Xemnas--or should we say "Mansex"?!
Dumbass.
PS-I'm atheist, agnostic, &/or apathist. Take your pick, they're nearly the same anyways. Point is, I say "Merry Christmas." I rarely use "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings". Know why? BECAUSE IT'S THE NAME OF THE HOLDIAY, BITCH! So...what's your point?

DOG
And since Dogs are the negation of Cats, we can be sure they're going to take something like Walmart's Ol' Roy and turn it into something canine and delicious, which is why we have to feed each other with meat and added vitamins to get wet noses. Especially while saying things like "Happy Holidays" and "Seasons Greetings" or even "Merry CHRISTmas".
It's TIME we GAVE BACK CHRISTMAS to MITHRAS.
Well hell,,,, it makes as much sense as the original.

Congratulations-you've discovered anagrams.
Here's some for your name:
I Ill Onion
So you are taking what used to be an expression of goodwill and turning it into a rallying cry for a non-existent turf war.
The Prince of Peace, whose birthday you are supposedly celebrating, must be very proud.
Whoops, forgot to enter my username. Forgetful Swede here.
Satan is going to take CHRISTmas and turn it into something pagan and secular? Why hasn't he done that already?
Who forces you to greet each other with special words? You can still use Merry Christmas, can't you?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
