Here in the UK, 'Happy Holiday' is likely to be heard a lot more often than 'Happy Christmas', because people are being persuaded that they may be causing upset to those with other religious beliefs.

It has been 'Christmas' in the UK for a very long time - it is a tradition. If you visit a predominantly Jewish country, you don't expect to see 'Christmas' - the same applies to a predominantly Moslem (Muslim) country.

Yes, I agree the UK has a diverse poulation with diverse beliefs, but this is 'political correctness' gone mad. It is really suggesting that it is okay for people to be intolerant of the beliefs of others, which is the opposite intention from that put forward.

Should we now abolish 'New Year' on the grounds that it may offend the Chinese community, whose New Year differs from the Gregorian? After all, Gregory was a pope...

I am well aware that there are as many arguments for as there are against; all I'm saying is... why can't we leave things alone?
