From a family member one more time I'm going to lose it.

There are a TON of winter holidays besides Christmas. And just because I acknowledge that doesn't mean I suddenly hate Christmas.

See, I hate it when a store or mall gets all decked out in chistmas decorations... then they say "Happy Holidays."

Happy Holidays implies more then just Christmas stuff. If you're going to be politically correct with your words, be it with your decorations too.

Technically "Christmas" decorations are all borrowed from other holidays such as Yule and Solstice.

Totally reminds me of the song "Christmas With A Capital C" by Go Fish (with speaking bits by comedian Brad Stine).

Obviously it leans towards the Christianity-positive end of things, so it supports the whole "It's Christmas, Not Happy Hoildays" idea. It's a catchy song and does make some good points at times... but can ruffle some feathers if you're someone who says "Happy Holidays" because you are wanting to include all of the winter holidays (without having to list them individually or say a jumble mesh of the names), not because you're trying to avoid being religious or whatever.

Yeah, there's a lot of Christianity symbols that ended up being "borrowed" from other religious/spiritual practices.
