Ground zero for the so-called "War on Christmas" was retail clerks & cashiers being told not to say "Merry Christmas" to customers, replaced with the generic "Happy Holidays." This spread and became the new normal for businesses and politicians and all in the name of inclusiveness - not wanting to offend people of non-Christian faiths. But did anyone ask the people of non-Christian faiths if hearing "Merry Christmas" offended them??
Steven Kerzner (@stevenjkerzner) hosts a panel of Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Atheists and others to talk ask about "Merry Christmas," but also about what the Christmas holiday season means to people raised in different faith & non-faith backgrounds, what traditions non-Christians have developed to make the holiday meaningful to them.
If you're expecting a brawl-for-it-all between competing faiths & atheists & lost of Christmas-bashing - well...spoiler alert - your expectations are off-base. These are Canadians, after all.
Is "Merry Christmas" offensive to non-Christians? Listen to the show. The answers may surprise you!
