Apple Celebrates Holiday Spirit With Live Performance of 'Frozen' Soundtrack 'Let It Go' by Idina Menzel

...and of course we can't say "Christmas Spirit"....that might offend someone.
As if this isn't offensive at all.
Timmey is always very carefully whom he chooses to offend and whom he stays away from offending.
Offending Christians is always ok. He knows they won't blow up his office or an Apple store.

 

[eatrains]

Yeah, I'm offended that people are downplaying and disrespecting the most common religion in north america. Why aren't you?

Because it's not offensive.

 

[ThisBougieLife]

I just have to laugh at how easily offended the same people who call out "easily offended liberal snowflakes" are. Oh, the hypocrisy! This thread is brimming with "snowflakes". If saying "happy holidays" is enough to flip your **** over, you may need to sort out your priorities.

 

[bladerunner2000]

Really? So deliberately saying 'Happy Holidays' to a muslim during ramadan is also not offensive... right?

It's Christmas Timmy. You can't even say it can you? It's not Kawanza (that's a complete farce), it's not Hanukkah. It's CHRISTMAS. It's the reason FOR the season.

I feel like the people who do celebrate Kwanzaa (the correct spelling of it btw) would beg to differ about it being a farce... Hanukkah definitely IS this time of year and um, idk if you’ve noticed but the Jews have been kinda having a hard time lately and even more so throughout like, all of history- so maybe just let them at least have the illusion of being included? Maybe?

Also, the “reason for the season” is not the cute little pagan ritual masquerading as a faux western religious holiday where, supposedly, this magic star baby was born in a desert thousands of years ago. The real reason is to spread love and cheer and enjoy what we have while remembering and helping those who have less. But I wouldn’t expect you to understand that. After all, that’s what being CHRISTIAN means. And you’re just in it for the club status.

How do you know who's a Muslim and who's not?

Yeah, christians never blow things up, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_bombing

Do people say Happy Holidays to Christians during Lent and its related holidays (Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, Easter)?

Hey Tim, just let it go already

 

[Tiger8]

Best time to buy a TV!

I continue to marvel at this idiotic notion that it offends Christians to say “Happy Holidays.” Anyone who genuinely believes that needs to go back and have another try at reading the New Testament, because you clearly missed the message the first time through.

 

[Glockworkorange]

Lol, I was referring to the myriad of holidays celebrated across the globe during this season, aptly dubbed “the holiday season”.
Haha, I never considered that my simple, honest, & forthright comment would make me “appear clever”, but I suppose, now that you mention it... it certainly does, in direct comparison! ;0)

Double lol at your “probably from people like you” comment...
Why is that all your ilk are so ridiculously angry, grumpy, & grinch-like; whilst claiming your issue is not being able to properly spread holiday cheer??!!
Seems SUPER disingenuous. I severely doubt that you’re the least bit pleasant, at any time of the year!!! =)

What holidays again?

 

[ChrisCW11]

Lol, as usual, Apple is always late. Frozen and Idina was so 5 years ago, like much of their product designs.

 

[newyorksole]

Reading these comments is so sad. So much wrong in the world. Won’t get better anytime soon either.

Jesus was the ultimate liberal, and a refugee, so they ignore that part and focus on the more authoritarian parts. THOU SHALT NOT and that sorta thing.

No, they yell from the balconies for you to expose yourself, and then they throw you plastic beads.

 

[eatrains]

Nah, you still don’t get it. Oh well.

 

[Justanotherfanboy]

You know Jews make up about 1.5% of the country while Christians make up about 75%, right?
Incredible how it's come to a point that the vast majority has to bend over for a select few.

Just a hair under 33% is NOT “about 75%”.
Maybe just stay away from stats, yeah?

What holidays again?

Lol, I guess your Google is broken?
“December holidays” came up with a 121 line list on mine... 1st hit.
I’d say in America, the main holidays “the holiday season” refers to would be: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, & New Year’s Day.
Bit of a mouthful, eh?
“Happy Holidays” includes those AND the other 117!

Say whatever tf greeting you like.... but PLEASE don’t feign insult by people uttering a simple, inclusive, inoffensive phrase.

 

[Vjosullivan]

Not sure what your point is, though being free to say it is the issue. The angry right here seems to demand it be said.
[doublepost=1544288892][/doublepost]
Wow pretty dismissive of other cultures, religions don't you think? Invented words?

You don't think Winterval and Festivus, etc. are invented words but are the products of "other cultures"?

 

[imageWIS]

Which is old testament.... but then when you bring anything up that's old testament that's not the ten commandments, they state that only the new testament counts. You can't rationalize with the irrational.

Last time I checked, people don’t give gifts for Thanksgiving, New Year’s, etc. What do you think people are referring to when they say “holiday gift?” A Kwanza present?

The insulting thing is when Christians are cowed in to not saying “Merry Christmas” because of the leftist outrage machine, moral relativism and cultural Marxism.

Merry Christmas, friend.

Lol.
Try & move the goalposts all you want... “friend”!
Absolutely NOBODY else has mentioned gifts in the literal hundreds of posts.
Semi-valiant effort?
This entire conversation has been about whether it’s ok to call a holiday party a holiday party (spoiler alert.... it is!).
It’s only a random few, up in arms & claiming that the holiday party was only called a holiday party as an affront to Christians, and that it clearly follows that if a holiday party is called a holiday party- the planners of such MUST be disallowing anyone to ever utter the words “Merry Christmas” (the two correlate, how??).

You’ve lost the plot, sir...

Let’s dont go wandering off on tangents with a bullwhip, looking for a horse to flog- yeah?

Did we hurt the feelings of your imaginary friend (whose book you most likely have never read, like most 'christians')? And the moment you started spewing 'leftist outrage machine, moral relativism and cultural Marxism' is when you completely lost the plot.

How much do you want to bet this poster is only able to spew his / her 'thoughts' utilizing logical fallacies?

 

[jgdeschamps]

I just don’t get why they’re not ok with saying and wishing Merry Christmas but then are ok with mentioning Hanukkah, Eid Mubarak, Diwali, Chinese New Year, etc... This Nonsense must stop.

Because Tim is gay and The Bible says that same sex marriages are not allowed by God.
The Bible = Old Testament & New Testament = Christ = Christmas.
December 25th became the date Popes little by little agreed to use as the celebration of the birthday of Jesus Christ hundreds of years ago, even though they had no idea when He was born. We Catholics know about this fact.
Christian Catholic religion was once a very widespread religion all over the world, and celebrating Jesus' birthday became also a widespread festivity. Then, in many countries, it turned into a politically correct mess seasoned with agendas and/or a very shallow gift-giving materialistic occasion. This last bit is the one that Tim loves. But hates... but loves.
