But what about messy christfarts? Can we still say that?
What’s with all the gammons in the comments here
Merry Christmas all!
… huh, I didn’t explode like they said I would…
I’m white British, from a long line of white British people.
I don’t have Christ in my solstice/ yuletide because I’m not Christian and I never will be! So I’m someone who says happy holidays.
What’s hilarious to me is the amount of people who get their knickers in a twist about the ‘merry Christmas’ phrase, and they’re not even practicing Christians.
Mate, these days…
The war on Christmas ends when Christmas stops the illegal occupation of November
I heard Jesus didn’t want to preach the message bc it was going to upset the Moozlem-ray-guns…
The thing is with saying merry Christmas, is that it’s great, but we can just be specific if we need to be specific and thats just a better alternative
I celebrate Christmas, but not all of my friends do, some are witches, so they celebrate the winter solstice, some are Jews so they have Hanukkah and so on and so forth
There’s nothing wrong with Saying merry Christmas collectively, but it is useful to just know what people actually celebrate so we can wish them well in their important cultural traditions too
But I draw the line at happy Wookie Life Day, those jedi fucks can go order 66 themselves
True story… back in the 90’s, the city where I’m originally from (Pittsburgh) officially changed Christmas to… wait for it… *Sparkle Season!* It didn’t last long. But there are people who still defend it as being “more inclusive”.
^(Last I heard, the city still exists and hasn’t devolved into some kind of modern-day Sodom or even Gomorrah. But there are a helluva lot of trumpers there nowadays. So perhaps forcing Sparkle Season on everyone might have prevented that in some small way. But we will never know.)
R-cist? Where on the Internet can you not spell the word “racist” out?
This is semi true though. It’s very popular in the USA to say happy holidays to consider jews and we’ve just adopted it. It’s not banned, it’s just being replaced with happy holidays.
I saw a Boss advert a week ago which was American and in it he said “it was the night before the holidays”
That is a blatant choice to replace a very common phrase. Its barely gramatically correct which is even more annoying.
It is a thing in the US though, and if you work for an American company you hear a lot of “happy holidays” at the end of meetings. Doesn’t really bother me but I’m glad we continue to say Merry Christmas… I always think, if I went to live in India I would love being wished Happy Diwali – it wouldn’t even occur to me to be offended or feel excluded.
Imagine living in a country where Christmas is absolutely fucking everywhere for two months of the year and still believing youre not allowed to say Merry Christmas lol
Hbomberguy did a funny video on this a few years back if anyone fancies a laugh at people being intentionally obtuse (looking at you Paul John Watson).
It’s called “The War on Christmas: A Measured Response”.
When did this come in?
It’s true though even the Coca-Cola advert has gone woke
Daily Fail have been recycling the meme for over 20 years.
“PC gone mad!”
Except “woke” is now the new “PC”…
I use “Bah Humbug” or “ Hallowed are the Ori” to reflect my cultural background.
Yes, I’m a grumpy nerd.
A festivus for the rest of us!
I actually worked at a company in Germany where, on their internal Slack channel, a manager told all phones based staff to stop saying ‘Happy Christmas ‘ to customers on calls to be ‘sensitive’ to customers of other faiths.
So yes, people have been (and no doubt are being) told not to say it.
Stop spreading disinformation as memes!
The only people I’ve ever heard say “we’re not allowed to say Merry Christmas anymore” were the ones saying it’s disgusting that we’re not allowed to say it anymore. Like a mime trapped in a box of their own making.
It’s absolute bollocks. Everyone I know has always said it and never once has it been an issue.
That also includes friends of other faiths and we just don’t give a shit. I’m not religious in the slightest but it’s just a thing we do every December.
The whole ‘can’t say Christmas anymore’ thing is yank shite that started about 15 years or so years ago.
Yeah, looks like that time we drag out the unfunny comedians in memes again.
It gets dumber. Bing Crosby “Happy Holidays” is from 1942 and I’m going to assume it wasn’t the original.
Happy Festivus everyone!
I actually teach kids where I’ve been told not to say ‘merry Christmas’ or ‘happy Halloween’ or even mention controversial topics or actors like Will Smith, cos if it gets back to the parents we’re on about them, they might complain 😑
I’m still personally not censoring myself but it’s not a blanket ‘everyone can say it’s. Some companies are ass and try to control everything.
We all say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Divali/Deepawali, Eid Mubarak, and so on to each other where I live. Everyone, regardless of faith, seems to have a Christmas tree and buy Easter eggs (and they _*call*_ them Easter Eggs), and the only people angry about anything are the people who insist that none of this happens, even though they experience it every year.
Can’t say anything these days, on your Netflix show, where they paid you 60 million
You’re not allowed to say merry Christmas.
Because it’s still fucking November
Harry Potter movies pissed me off with that though. Saying “Happy Christmas”…
You wouldn’t say “Merry New year” would you?
Except for Eddie Murphy when he rides trains on new years eve…
It’s genuinely baffling how this narrative persists every single year. You can’t walk ten feet without seeing a decoration or hearing a carol, yet somehow Christmas is the one under siege. The real seasonal crime is how it bulldozes over Thanksgiving. The victim complex is stronger than the eggnog.
way way way too many words
Merry Chrysler! 😂
All I know is that as I read that I heard his accent lol
Where do tge years go
The worst thing is, people buy this cancelling Christmas hook line and sinker every single time.
There’ll be a story in the Mail or Express about schools changing their signs to Happy Holidays or don’t have a Christmas play for the kids but buried in the article somewhere will be the context that doesn’t matter as people already make up their own minds.
The frightening thing is that people vote based off all of this nonsense. It’s the same BS with poppies, Easter, not having St George’s Day as a public holiday etc. Those bitching about Christmas being cancelled probably haven’t stepped in a church for anything besides the odd funeral, wedding or christening.
The media ecosystem in this country is so utterly bent.
