@noondlyt Why do we specify "for those who celebrate" with Chanukah, but not with Christmas? @timo21

@noondlyt Because it makes those who do celebrate feel like outsiders. Lonely feeling. @timo21

@AlliFlowers @noondlyt That's why 'Happy Holidays' is so appropriate. I've seen a lot of 'for those that celebrate' with Christmas, especially in relation to people that may celebrate Christmas in January.

@timo21 I've never seen it -- except for last year when I did it to see if anyone noticed. (They didn't.) Celebrating Christmas in January is no exception since you'll still wish them happy Christmas, as people have been doing since Halloween. @noondlyt

@PamelaBarroway So christians have too make sure everyone knows that by pointing it out? @noondlyt @timo21

@AlliFlowers @noondlyt @timo21 Not at all. When one is talking about such a tiny percentage of the total population, it could be seen as a matter of courtesy. Personally speaking, I’m good with the reference or without! Just thinking out loud, tbh.
