Is saying Merry Christmas (especially to a stranger) offensive? Not all people are religious and not all people celebrate Christmas. Do you still say it to strangers? Is it appropriate in a workplace?

I cant tell if this post is serious or troll. If it's the latter then god help us ☠️

just say same to you, move on and curse them under your breath or something

it's annoying but I just let it go bc those people dgaf about anyone else and you can't change other people.

I don't say it to anyone, including people I know who celebrate it.

you stan Cardi B and you're asking if saying Merry Christmas is problematic?

What is not offensive these days?

Christmas is so secular now that the well wish is more of a general "have a good season" than anything.

I say "Merry Christmas" to people who celebrate, and "Happy Holidays" to people who don't celebrate or whose status is unknown.

It was in 2016 maybe

No. it's a secular holiday. say it don't say it whatever. I say happy holidays usually.

Some of y'all really hateful and disguise it as woke ****

Considering that a lot of people who celebrate it aren't even religious to begin with, I don't see it as problematic? Also even if someone doesn't celebrate it, I find it bizarre that they'd be bothered by someone wishing them well.

I doubt anyone will be offended by you wishing them well.

No but this thread is

I mean zo say it to someone wearing hijab, that would be offensive, but if your white, living in western europe/ north america, how d f is someone suppose to know what u celebrate?

I would not be offended if someone wished me all the best for Ramadan in Istanbul

Everyone stans Santa and the reindeer and elves and presents and listen to AIWFCIY even if they're atheist or not Christian I guess

No, I just usually say Happy Holidays to be respectful

I just say Happy Holidays. I don't think anyone says Merry Christmas anymore unless they're trying to be offensive.

They could be Jewish, you can't assume someone's religion based on the color of their skin. Thats problematic don't you think?
