I just had my helmet changing its name to santa clause's hat ...
I don't mind you guys doing something special on holidays, but I was hoping we could have a choice for that.
Not everyone is celebrating christmas (I'm not)
I'm not offended, but I can imagine that some people with different religions are.
There are just also other religions with other holidays. I hope you guys take that also in mind.

Well, like I said I'm not offended.
thx anyway for the holiday wishes, but I don't have any upcoming holidays, as my new year started 1st November and I celebrated Yule yesterday.
For me it's just frustrating that everyone always expect you to follow their holidays and relgions ...
Well, maybe not follow ... hard to tell actually, it's just that everyone always takes it for granted that christianity is supposed to be known worldwide and to be accepted also ...
I don't have anything against the changes, but I'd rather have a choice ...

Hmm. I thought that Santa is a product of European folklore and he is not a symbol of Christianity.

I'm not religious but I celebrate Christmas. I don't consider it celebrating the inaccurate date of Jesus's birth. I like it because it's a chance to see my family who live far away from me and because I like seeing my kids faces light up when I spoil them rotten. All the good food and booze is nice too
It seems to me that the global trend is to preach tolerance of other religions while at the same time suppress all things Christian. Someone is always offended or complaining. It's pretty sad especially when the real truth is that the fuss is over a holiday that IMO lost it's true religious meaning a long time ago and is really a commercial holiday where stores drain you of all your money and make big profits.

Christmas, for some ppl are a religious time, but for others its just time to spend with their families, to buy them special gifts and have a joyfull time.
Personally I have been rised in catholic family (almost like alcoholic
) but I dont find Christmas time of catholic event.
(ps. I find big difference between Christmas and Christmas Eve; the second one is a catholic event)
It's a commercial event for ppl to spend lots of money and have a time with their families.
Of course You can say I dont like recieving a Christmas/new year wishes from the administration, but I dont think that enyone can say that a Snow Ball is a christian symbol neither the Santa Claus.
And as for the fish it is a traditional Polish dish
