Is "Merry Christmas" offensive in your country?

The correct term is Winter Night Light festival or Winterval
>>
of course not

>>52610993
Yes, it is offensive to use filthy foreign languages here.
>>
Yes.
>>
>>52610993
No tbch

I have literally never heard anyone in real life getting butthurt over "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays". This is probably because it's stupid to act offended when someone wishes you well.
>>
I don't get the background here. What's offensive about "Merry Christmas"?
>>
the fuck is Kwanzaa, anyway?

Something niggers in the united states made up so they have their own holiday to celebrate "african culture"

Our word for christmas has nothing to do with christianity though, so it isn't offensive in that way. But then again, I wouldn't be surprised if there were someone who would be insulted by it.
>>
>>52611203
Some people in the USA claim that Christmas is under attack from secularism because people say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas".

>>52611238
Made-up holiday for black people in the USA that barely anyone actually celebrates

The WE WUZ equivalent to X-mas.

>>52611203
It is ironically funny but at the same time absurd, not because you asked but because kefka would have liked it as well

basically it is suppose to be too culturally singular but it still coerces the people to adapt to the not-culturally-singular mode of saying happy holidays instead, or rather it has to use the same line of argument to do something while being against something

it is cruel jest but as long as some kind of complaint can come out of this whole thing all is well

African-Americans, who's roots lay in an Africa untouched by missionaries, felt that Christmas was too "white" a holiday. So in order to not feel left out identity-wise in a season with Christmas, Hannukah, and Eid, they made up a mish-mash of African traditions which make no sense together, and called it Kwanzaa.

The only Merchants behind it are the ones kicked out of mainstream jew community for faggotry. You didn't had to listen to them, but you did anyway.

>>52610993
Yes, such anglicisms are frowned upon.
>>
>>52611203
Not everyone celebrates the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If you say Merry Christmas to them they get mad at you for extending pleasantries to them.

>>52610993
Yes, we speak Slovene here.

Fuck, this is downright antisocial.

How one wants others to be welcoming towards other cultures and customs if he starts chimping out just because courtesy of others doesn't match his patterns?

Yes.
It sounds too sad to be possible. How could the African-Americans be this pathetic?

But it's true. Even though most blacks in America are mostly Christians themselves, blacks wanted a holiday to be about *them*. It's easier to understand it in the thought process of the 60s, when black nationalism (sometimes militant) was gaining influence in the periphery of the African-American community.

Do those candles look familiar to you? You might have seen something like them before, in a different holiday.
Looks to me like cultural appropriation.

No because we don't call the Winter Solstice/Festival after some jewfag :^)
>>
>>52612009
Because Athiests are literally the worst. They think they exist on a higher intellectual plane than everyone else because they have given up in finding and understanding a higher meaning in life.
>>
no. thats solely an american thing

>>52613658
wow going to church once a year gives your life meaning?
