Don't fret it. From what I've heard it even caught some of our Jewish friends off-guard. When it first arrived I saw a Happy Hanukkah ad on FOXNews and said to myself "Isn't it a bit early?"

My best friend's boyfriend is Jewish, and she was freaking out around Thanksgiving about how little time she had to go shopping for Hannukah.

Good grief!  Some people will complain about anything. Thank you for putting the banners up and leave them as is.

It's Christmas time already?  Next thing you know, bobbolink will be homeless. :whistling:
I will get upset if CC starts acknowledging Muslim holidays.  Until then, carry on.

I celebrate Christmas, and therefore say Merry Christmas to everyone, as I believe the season should be merry.   If someone said Happy Hanukkah to me I would not be offended.   

Seriously need to find something else to complain about.

This happens every time of year
I don't know what to do
When I'm feelin all cheery
And I wanna give a greeting
Cuz I'm in the holiday mood

And I go scrambling in my brain
Tryin to guess what they celebrate
Then I give it all up and I cover my bases
And this is what I say, well I say

Merry Krishne

My sister tried to start saying that a few years ago . . . so, in honor of that, I send her a Happy Kwanza e-card every year . . . She has good humor about it. :fuelfire: :tongue: :cheersmate:

As for the letter that TVDOC cites, said individual can always go to another site.  I'm all for Merry Christmas.

So, some ****ing *****, too weak to send a note with their name on it is not happy with a Merry Christmas banner? Who the **** cares what this piece of shit is happy with or not. It is Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you all.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I don't think this season should be about scorn and contempt, but this idiot started it.

**** you, sir or madam,

You're a panty waist. A lower life form in my estimation that feels you need to have your hands in the various regulation cookie jars at all times. You didn't even include your name when sending "It offends me!" message to our admins. A cowardly act so as not to take responsibility for your actions, or recieve any kind of reply back/recognition at all. Eat the peanuts out of my shit you namby pamby, kumbayaa, inbreeding mother ****er.



Alright...I'm over it now. I say keep the banners.
