I always thought "Happy Holidays" was specifically designed to make Jews feel included.  Other than that it doesn't make a lot of sense.

My mom has old Christmas card, since from I was a kid, long before our society care about people's feeling, and many of them said "Joyeuses Fêtes" (Happy Holidays) with a Christian them for the picture.  I doubt Jews would have a particular attachment to baby Jesus on a card (Note, please Malthus, spare us the obligatory Jews for Jesus debate )

Happy holidays to me just means Xmas, new year, and the whole shebang.

It originated long before the sentiment of being inclusive of Jews was at all prevalent.  Near as I can tell, it was originally a Christian phrase referring to all the Sundays of the Advent, as well as Christmas.

Because it used to be a whole series of festivals. And in a sense it still is.

It's so weird because here it always been Happy Holidays. There's , historically, 3 of them in 3 weeks.

It is just weird. One would think that if you hate Democratic voters and Democratic politicians you would, you know, have reasons for doing so based on things they actually do.

This kind of propaganda is designed for people too ignorant to understand the nuances of actual politics.  Anyone is capable of understanding 'DEMOCRAPS EAT BABIES!!!!!!!!1111111111111"

.... I really hope she's joking. If not... Hope her employer sees this.

I think the extent to which medical system should aim to preserve life is debatable and debated.  Nurses are allowed to have an opinion about that, as long as they don't act on it.

[Razgovory]

Last time I was in the hospital the nurse wanted me dead from the moment she looked at me.

I didn't realize you went to the same hospital that Syt's sister works at 

Seriously thoug maybe you shouldn't share every thought you have on social media?

Agreed.  There's a lot of end-of-life procedures routinely undertaken that probably should not be, and a lot of people in hospitals that should be in hospices.
