This is a country where everybody of all should express merry christmas to each other proudly.

Mary Christmas to you too, but since you had to make it political, thank you founding fathers for establishing this country on the idea that people have the freedom to practice or not practice religion as the individual sees fit.

Right, let's make sure we're exclusivists and only acknowledge the citizens of our country who are xians. We'll ignore the muslims, the jews, the hindu, the atheists, the buddhists...anyone that doesn't believe in your version of god.

Wish people 'merry xmas' all you like, but don't for one moment think that this is a xian nation, or that we should be 'proud' of wishing each other a 'merry xmas' in the exclusionary manner that you wish. Personally, I'll give holiday greetings tailored to the beliefs of the person to whom I'm wishing them, and if I don't know their beliefs, I'll wish them a happy holiday season, so that they feel included rather than excluded.

Oh, and here's a shout out to my pagan peeps from whose ancient ancestors the xians happily stole the winter holidays. Y'all know how to party. Thanks!

LMAO thank you. You just managed to offend some of our resident chauvinists

Only a serious diarrhoea related bowel disorder offends them slightly more.

Thanks for the laugh and Merry Christmas back at you.

Here's to the founding fathers of America. Many of them obviously went to church. LMAO again

Merry Christmas to those who practice Christianism! It sure sounds like the OP does!

Christianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And since our country was founded on the principle of freedom of religion - Happy Holidays to everyone else!

Then comes this individual who feels the telling urge to stamp his feet and make his opinion known that he does not celebrate for he does not believe for he does blah blah blah blah blah.

And the rest of the world is like "ok..." and the fanfare goes on becoz nobody cares.

And the zealot continues to harp on and on as he comes across more fanfare.

It takes a zealot of behave so. So why the surprise, MC?

Merry FSMas to you LMAO
