Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

itwriting(halfpercent)

Ever since I immigrated to Canada 20 years ago, I have been told during Christmas season not to say “Merry Christmas” for the sake of diversity and inclusion.

So diversity and inclusion should exclude Christmas? Image a botanical garden that claims to welcome any flower and vegetation regardless of their color and origin refuses red rose from Europe.

I say Merry Christmas during Christmas season, just like I say Happy Spring Festival during the Chinese New year, every year.

This year, I work as a Federal contractor, so technically I work for Trudeau, who hates Christmas for the sake of the sick diversity and inclusion.

Many people are taking vacation for Christmas during the last 2 weeks of the year. Last Friday my manager, who is from India, message the team: “Happy Holiday and Happy New Year”.

I replied:” Merry Christmas and Happy New Year”.

    • 呵呵，的确20多年前就是如此，单位所有寄出的贺卡都不会提 Merry Christmas，因为业界有很多犹太人。很多年以来一直如此，为免踩雷。 -ming2001(ming2001); 2023-12-18 (#15836212@0)
      • 犹太人治理的以色列，是世界上宗教包容度最高的国家。 -**🐈; 2023-12-18 (#15836481@0) +2
        • 谨慎有礼是对自身的要求，当然包容度高的对冒失无礼会表现得不露痕迹。不过他们应该不会对咱说：Happy Hanukkah! -ming2001(ming2001); 2023-12-19 (#15836748@0)
          • 该节日最主要的仪式是点燃九枝灯台. 光明节使用的灯台通常要摆放在窗帘拉开的窗台上，以便让外面的人能够看到。关于这个节我有个疑惑，七枝灯台怎么变成9枝的？ -firetrain(火车头); 2023-12-19 {593} (#15837882@0)

              What's the difference between a Menorah and a Chanukiah? Why do some Menorahs have 7 branches while others have 9? Let's find out...

        • 犹太人不喜欢merry Christmas， 遇到犹太人千万别这么说，其他人应该无所谓，犹太教最大的区别就是不承认耶稣，基督教认为耶稣是被犹太人杀死的，你如果知道他是犹太人还说merry Christmas，会认为你故意冒犯 -qwedward(..); 2023-12-19 (#15837911@0)
    • 如果不要政治正确的话，不要教养宽容的话，那我应该可以说：拜托你还是写中文吧。这chinglish 让人笑话，太土啦。 -whynot333(Hello); 2023-12-19 (#15837902@0) +3
      • 楼主故意这么说主要是想冒犯一下穆斯林，可是他搞错了，穆斯林根本无所谓，因为耶稣是伊斯兰的先知，他们并不在乎有人崇拜耶稣，在真正不愿意听到merry chrismas是犹太人，因为这个节日把犹太人完全排除出去 -qwedward(..); 2023-12-19 (#15837927@0)
        • 北美---多种族多文化的移民聚居地，种族，宗教，歧视，这么敏感的话题，在揉脸却可以肆无忌惮地畅聊。亏得是个中文网站，若像楼主那样用英文，就不是信用卡打官司那么简单了。 -ming2001(ming2001); 2023-12-19 (#15838559@0)
