Until recently, do you think greeting a stranger with the phrase "Merry Christmas"
could have been construed as a MALICIOUS Attempt to hurt someones feelings?

That's not what's being said. That's the dramatic side of things. No one's feelings are hurt by being told Merry Christmas. Bust Buy and others are just trying to INCLUDE everyone in the HOLIDAY. What's wrong with that?

Look, Christians, you can't control what people say and you don't OWN Christmas.

Like it or not, many non-Christians celebrate the holiday.

No they don't. That's impossible. They may get into a secular gift giving frenzy .. but they aren't celebrating CHRISTmas.

But are we sure this is about political correctness? There's a difference between saying something so no one is offended and saying something to let everyone know they're included, if only in intent. And it's a big difference. And while I hate the former, I totally support the latter.
