Yup. Inane political correctness + the age of taking offence = HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

Feth that!

Merry fething Christmas, every fething last fething one of us. Let's all have a fething good time, and then for those of us in the future, go and see Hobbit (a movie everyone in the past already has) on Boxing Day.

**TheCustomLime**

Merry Creesmas to everyone across the globe! May a superheavy find it's way under your tree tonight.

I see a lot of heresy in this thread. There is only one true faith and the

nquisition will be visiting you all for this disturbing display.

Merry Emperor's Day Dakka!

I shall be avoiding any confusion by simply using the term "feth you" when addressing strangers during the festive period.

As an American Jew who used to live in Oakland, I appreciate the sentiment.

But I thought the reason you say "Happy Holidays" is because you want the other person to have a merry Christmas and also a happy New Year. So many people apparently don't want a happy New Year these days.

Just all the more reason to say "Merry Christmas" in my opinion. "Offend", gak.

I prefer mine, but that's good as well. The most bizarre thing about political correctness is that 99% of people hate every aspect of it, and spend all day complaining about it, but everything is still PC? Sit in a public place and complain about the inanity of political correctness and you will be greeted with grins and nods by all and sundry, but we all still practice it?!

Its like minority rule!

I know, right? All those people who celebrate Hanukah have such a cabal going. Someone should do something.

**Da Boss**

To avoid any offence (and be as pretentious as possible):
Nollaig shona daoibh, dakka.

**spaceelf**

A whole two pages and not one mention of the space pope. We are clearly slacking off, or drinking too much egg nog.

Merry Christmas Dakka.

**chaplain iktinos**

Merry Christmas from Canada! Have a safe and Happy Holiday! God Bless

**Azazelx**

Well, I figure since Hannukah was from Nov 27 to Dec 5th, and my post was on Dec 25th, my OP really was about wishing people a Happy Christmas - regardless of how Christian or not anyone is. I take the day to have different meanings for people these days, and while the origin may be in the Winter Solstice of the Northern Hemisphere with Jesus' birthday bolted onto it later, today it can mean a day of spending time with loved ones and having a nice time regardless of faith (or not) just as much as it can be a day of worship for others.

**Dreadclaw69**

We had our Christmas early because it was the only time we could get everyone together.

Merry Christmas everyone

**Chaos Legionnaire**

Merry Christmas Dakka!

**infinite_array**

Merry Christmas, everybody!

**xlDuke**

Merry Christmas Dakka, from dear old England

**Eggs**

And happy crimbo from Scotland too dakkaites. I've been absolutely ruined with gaming stuff.

Enough models to keep me going for a couple of years I'd say!

Hope you all got what you wanted, and are having a chilled day with friends and family.

**Medium of Death**

Merry Christmas!

Hope no dakkanauts have been adversely impacted by the poor weather.

**the shrouded lord**

Merry 'nidmas and A happy new BLARG!

I thought the roof was gonna come off last night! Fortunately we've only lost a few slates and a chunk of the fence.

**wuestenfux**

In the meanwhile, GW has sent (us) an email wishing Merry Christmas. Cheers!

**Breotan**

Merry Christmas. God bless us, every one!

That I can get behind. It's a great day to relax and enjoy family. Too bad I can do neither.

Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it. Happy Holidays to everyone, inclusive.

For the record, as someone who has worked retail for 6 Christmases, I pretter MattyRM's "feth You" greeting. It comes straight from the heart.

You bastage.

My family all decided to avoid the gaming stuff and just went for books and clothes. And an iPad, but what the hell am I going to do with an iPad?

Merry Christmas from the past! Or, merry boxing day!
