Default Re: Is the term "Xmas" offensive?

whenever I use the abbreviation xmas it's out of laziness and certainly not meant to offend anyone. It's certainly not as offensive as a Christmas card I saw once that said "Money's tight, times are hard, here's your fvcking Christmas card..." now that I could see being offensive though I thought it was rather funny. As for this:

his is stupid, since these same people have not done the same for Ramadan or Hannakuh, which are both words that are LARGER than Christmas...
I'll say straight up that I actively avoid ever writing Hannakuh cause I never know how the hell to spell it and neither apparently does anyone else as I see it all kinds of ways all the time with a ch, ect. So they get a straight up Happy Holidays all the time from me. And as for Ramadan I don't even know when the hell that is or what the hell it's about....talk about offensive.
