“Just got a few BB Storms to try out & give to execs. Wow, that touchscreen/keyboard BLOWS. The action is horrible if you [attempt to] type with two thumbs. They also changed the USB connector for what reason I have no idea, so you now have yet another cord to pack.”

“Why are you telling me to have a "Happy Holiday"?! It's non-denominational - you CAN say Happy Thanksgiving! What, you don't think Jews celebrate it?! For crying out loud. . . .”

Hmm... when I'm leaving work for just about any holiday weekend, I tend to say, "Have a great holiday!" to folks. But in any other context, that just seems... weird. - Ladybug Heather
Man, you live in this country. You know folks are dumb. How many times in the past few decades have I seen Americans as British people how they celebrate the 4th of July. I'm black and I've had people surprised that I celebrate Thanksgiving. - Anika Malone
Here is a bigger question,, why is it offensive to wish someone good wishes for a holiday they don't celebrate? Assuming the wish is made with the best of intentions why is it an issue? - Sean Reiser
lol, we don't celebrate, but I know it's not a Muslim thing, it's just most immigrants like my family may choose not to. Then again, some do, like some of my friends and cousins who are also immigrants. - Mohomed=genieyclo
I refuse to say Happy holidays to anyone. At Christmas, it's Christmas. It's largely a secular holiday nowadays anyway. - Ian May
@Sean, I'm with you. Whether I celebrate the holiday or not, I appreciate the good wishes of the other. Unbunch your panties, everyone, and accept that some people actually know how to be NICE. - Ladybug Heather
it assumes an awful lot. not sure that it's offensive. but it is a bit... arrogant perhaps? plus it can lead to some really awkward conversations. dude: "merry christmas." me: "gee. not a christian." dude: "well what are you then?" me: atheist with buddhist tendencies. dude: "you're going to hell." - tiffany
@Tiffany maybe it's the fact I'm a NYer so I'm constantly surrounded by folks who believe differently then me. If someone wishes me good wishes for a holiday whether it's Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Wiccan, or anything else, I assume they mean the best and thank them and wish them the same. - Sean Reiser
and Tiffany if I had that conversation it would go something like me: "merry christmas." you: "gee. not a christian." me: "Then have a wonderful day!" - Sean Reiser
I say Happy Holidays. I don't celebrate Christmas, most of the people in my circle don't either, so why would I presume anything about anyone? - Anika Malone
The thing about Christmas is that there are now two entirely different holidays happening on the same day. There is a completely secular holiday, with Santa and trees and gifts, and there is a Christian feast day. And many who celebrate the secular holiday have never darkened the door of a church. So when one is wished a Merry Christmas, it doesn't necessarily imply that either of you is a Christian. </rant> - Ladybug Heather
exactly anika. it's the "presumption"/assumption part that's offensive. @sean, i'm a NY native who has been in exile in Dixie for 8 years. for me, "happy holidays" is the best way to go. i don't know which holidays you celebrate, if any. i'd rather get it right by being vague than offend you by assuming sh*t. - tiffany
and sean, i don't want to presume your faith, but i really wonder if you'd feel differently if someone wished you a happy eid, or happy ramadan in september, or a happy diwali in october. - tiffany
@Tiffany, I know that when I was greeted a few years back on the Jewish High Holy Days, I smiled and asked more about the day. It really touched me and made me feel included rather than excluded. - Ladybug Heather
@ladybug heather: the best parallel i can come up with here is being "hetero-normative" towards gay people. it's not a neat parallel, but it's a similar concept. it's about visibility and recognizing that your definition of "normal" has to mean that my beliefs are "abnormal" and, yeah, that's kind of offensive. - tiffany
You just become conditioned to say it. In my world are Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, etc., especially in business. I once knew somebody who celebrated Yule. Just gets to be habit to blanket statement it. - Patricia
I noticed that yesterday too and it wasn't businesspeople - ticked me off - Jeff Quinton
Is Thanksgiving a holy day? Why call it a holiday? It's not like you can't eat turkey with your family any other day of the year... - Ari Herzog
Somebody wished me a happy something, so I guess I should enjoy it. I just dislike the generalization. It's not like Christmas where there are other potential holiday choices (even then, someone wished me well, and I don't think they are ignorant and unaccepting of other cultures just because they picked the one they celebrate). In America, the 4th Thursday of November is Thanksgiving and ONLY Thanksgiving. What other potential holiday could I be possibly celebrating? - Peter Ghosh CISSP
