Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays Announcement to Pax

Bah! Humbug!

Merry Christmas, for the rest of you-----Deal with it!!!!!!!!!.

The Continental FO wished us Merry Christmas on the PA yesterday.

Dec 25 is Christmas - whether you celebrate, belieive, give a shart, or not. So when someone wishes you a merry Christmas, it's just a gesture of good will on a day that has some significance to the well-wisher if nothing more. If you can't appreciate that for what it is or if it offends your beliefs, values, etc., then I'd say you're the intolerant, fundamentalist bigot. Stop hating and be kind people - and merry Christmas.

Hahahahahaha... EO, I am prepared to have your children.

You don't intend to eat them, do you?:erm:

...sorry, that just slipped out - hope you can take a joke.

Things capt. megadeth worries about:
Paying my mortgage
Getting a raise
Affording to live in an increasingly expensive city
Job Security
Being able to have a healthy child
Staying healthy so I can keep flying
Being able to enjoy life

You guys/gals that worry about nativity scenes and $hit like that obviously have too much time on your hands.

Things pilotmyf doesn't worry about:
1)Megadeath's worries

Sounds like you have time for flight info, so you should add it to your list,
Merry Christmas

I've got to say, I think this retarded O'Reilly 'war on christmas' is way overblown.

I've always said happy holidays, not to be PC, but because there are MULTIPLE HOLIDAYS!!. Thanksgiving, christmas, New Years all are included during this timeframe, as well as other religious holidays.

Get over it. If anyone here is being overly sensitive about it, it's not the liberals (of which I am a proud member). It's the wingnut wackos like O'Reilly and his imagined war.

Nobody is keeping him or anybody else from saying merry christmas, so I hope he says it until his lips turn blue, and he passes out. But if I or anybody else wants to say happy holidays, then to hell with him. Retard.

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2006, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great (not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country or is the only "America" in the western hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, or sexual preference of the wishee.

By accepting this greeting, you are agreeing to these terms:

This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.




This is what my lawyer came up with to keep my butt out of the courtroom. Enjoy.


BTW. Merry Christmas. Is it really all that hard to say it the right way?

That is pretty funny.

And Iceman, just as a courtesy I wanted to let you know that I'll be printing your post for my greeting cards this year (ref. 'freely transferable clause').

Merry Christmas to all, and enjoy your eggnog.

I dont accept any form of gift that celebrates xmas. If people want to offer me something, i tell them to donate it to a worthy cause instead. Isnt it wierd that christians symbolize xmas with sales and gifts and not by praying to their "saviour."

I was gonna say go fukk yourself but since its Christmas time Merry Christmas

 

[mamba20]

Who gives a crap, no one listens anyways. I'd rather not listen to it either. I lose a set of eyes looking at other gates for hotties boarding other airplanes.

You seem uninformed pookie. Christians 'symbolize' (celebrate) Christmas with gifts to others and believe it has religious significance because (1) The wise men brought precious gifts (gold, myrr, frankensince) to give to the newborn baby from afar, (2) We (Christians that is) consider the promised and prophesied birth of the baby Jesus, Father Joseph and Mother Mary of Nazareth, to be the best GIFT ever given anywhere, and given the almighty God of the Universe, no doubt.

Merry Christmas Xmas gift givers!

Oh yes....I have seen more church going bible thumping hippocrites in my life than I care to think about.

Ah, but what better place for a hyppocrite to be than in church! Jesus asked once "Does a Doctor treat those who are sick, or those who are well?"

Just because you attend church doesn't mean you are without sin, and that goes for everyone, in varying degrees. Here's a bumper sticker you've seen (I know it's trite but true): "Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven".

I do admit though, persons who say they are or appear to be Christians yet lead 'two different lives' tend to be unworthy witnesses of a powerful faith.

Merry Christmas

You can't make everyone happy, but you can try. I must say that Happy Holidays offends me cause I don't celebrate holidays, I celebrate Christmas!! I say Merry Christmas to everyone I can if they don't share the same faith then they should tell me at that point and I will wish them a happy holiday.
Last year during the Christmas season I made the announcement "Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanza, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and if you don't celebrate any of these Happy Sparkle season!" The Pittsburgh Post Gazette called it sparkle season many years ago to be PC. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE OUT THERE FLYING!!

From my local paper today...

I too will say Merry Christmas. Kwanzaa begins on the 26th. On that day, I will say Happy Kwanzaa.

Kwanzaa "is a fabrication of Ron Karenga, a violent ex-con and Marxist black separatist who, in 1966, pulled the holiday out of thin air bacause he thought Christmas was too white...They never heard of Kwanzaa in Africa."

Just thought it was interesting info.

This whole "Merry Christmas" vs. "Happy Holidays" crap started when the right-wing moral fascists blasted the Bush White House for sending out Christmas cards saying "Happy Holidays". (Almost sounds like another twisted episode of 'South Park'.)

People have been saying either phrase for longer than anyone on this board has been alive; often alternating one or the other. It wasn't an issue until some nutjob media azzhole(s) made it one.

I am amazed that I am still amazed that so many so-called Christians still can't get the spirit of the season.

I'm more than happy to celebrate Winter Solstice; Christmas or whatever you want to call it. It's been around much longer than Christianity, Buddhism, Islam or even the Roman god Saturn.

Merry Christmas!
