Just Say “Merry Christmas”

5:26

For our media source, we chose to play a video called “Just say Merry Christmas.” We

chose this video because it has created controversy in the past and is today, still a

controversy about how we should address people during the Christmas holiday season. When

someone says Merry Christmas to another person, that person is assuming that the other person

is part of the Christian, religious group based on either the person stating it being Christian or a

person being ignorant. With this video, the idea of just saying Merry Christmas seems to be

easier than changing everything to happy holidays. By stating that we should just say Merry

Christmas, people of non-Christian religions may be, rightfully, offended, and religious tolerance

is not being shown. Even though this class focuses on America, one of the members of our group

lived in England. In Europe, everyone addresses people saying Happy Holidays, also breaks are

called winter breaks, and there is no found issue of people being offended by this.

For our activity, we will play our video and take the time to unpack it. We can talk about

how we feel about this video and also get some reactions from the students. The students will

also be encouraged to ask questions if they have any and we will answer them to the best of our

knowledge. We plan to ask the class a few questions during our presentation. Some questions

could be: 1. Why do you think that the in the only country where the freedom of religion can be

practiced that people still get offended when Happy Holidays is said instead of Merry Christmas?

2. Do you think we should continue to say, “Merry Christmas”, or make the switch to, “Happy

Holidays”? We hope to get everyone’s brains turning and spark a civil discussion fr
