You can't say 'Happy Christmas' anymore you have to say 'Happy Holidays' to be more inclusive 🙄

Utter rubbish!

It’s a celebration of Christ’s birth. Christ’s mass.

We’re already inclusive. Other cultures and religions celebrate their special events and dates, Diwali, Ramadan, Eid and Hanukkah etc and I’ve never heard anyone object to that so why can’t we do the same.

 It’s a joyful time and maybe a time for reflection for the majority of folks here and even if they’re not practicing Christians, they will enjoy themselves around 25th December and to say we should simply call it a ‘holiday’ is crass stupidity.

It’s CHRISTMAS and always will be Christmas.

A case of the tail wagging the dog again!

We can do the same, and we've never been prevented from doing the same (apart from inside a few misguided people's heads).

 

Oh, and to return to the OP: we haven't been stopped from using the term "Father" either.

You can say what you like,  when you like,  how you like.  especially at Christmas.
