Reposting my Thread so people can see it when they reply on page 2
First off, this doesn't violate the What not to Suggest. I read the whole thing just to make sure. By the way there's not a tl;dr version but I'll do some summaries.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've played ROBLOX for a good 5 years. I consider myself a loyal customer to this game, buying TBC, in game benefits, and whatnot. Of course now that I've got older it's been harder for me to stay active. But some things in ROBLOX are important to me, and maybe others who are just too afraid to speak up or maybe not even notice at all. What am I talking about?
Well, outside of ROBLOX, Christmas and the other Holidays, such as Hanakkuh and Kwanzaa, are very important to people. Things are associated with them. Hanukkah is celebrated for eight days to mark the eight days the oil burned. People celebrate Hanukkah by lighting candles on a menorah, which is also called a Hanukiyah. Each night, one more candle is lit.
And the Kwanzaa celebration honors African heritage in African-American culture. It's observed from December 26 to January 1, culminating in a feast and gift-giving. Kwanzaa has seven core principles (Nguzo Saba). It was created by Maulana Karenga and was first celebrated in 1966–67.
**Many people in the United States celebrate Christmas Day on December 25. The day celebrates Jesus Christ's birth, and can also be associated with gifts gaven from the spirit of Santa Clause. It is often combined with customs from pre-Christian winter celebrations. Many people erect Christmas trees, decorate their homes, visit family or friends and exchange gifts. **
So to recap, Hanakkuh is celebrated by the lighting the candle for 8 days to celebrate when, as the story goes, a flask was found with enough oil to light a candle for 1 day but instead stayed lit for 8 days. Kwanzaa celebrates African American culture with celebrations, feasts, and the receiving of gifts.
You could argue that since while celebrating Kwanzaa you could possibly give gifts that they call it ROBLOXHOLIDAY to be more broad. And many people argue this same principal, why when you go to the store it's
'This Holiday Season...'
or
'This Winter Season...'
It's really the only time we don't actually say Merry Christmas but don't apply this rule to any other holidays, like thanksgiving, labor day, or halloween.
But should ROBLOX follow this same fate in the name of what's popular to do now?
Though Kwanzaa does have associations to gift giving, so does people's Birthdays. Or baby showers. Anniversaries. Company parties. Christmas. Christmas too, going farther back than 1967, and maybe even hundreds of years back, associates with the idea of giving gifts.
It's really the only time we don't actually say Merry Christmas but don't apply this rule to any other holidays, such as thanksgiving, labor day, or halloween. (to name a few) So why discriminate against one holiday? Is it really going to hurt someone who doesn't celebrate it? Not everyone celebrates everything, so we may as well just call it all 'Happy Holidays' to be fair.
So here I make my case, and a rather good one at that.
Please just call it ROBLOXCHRISTMAS. It's not going to harm anyone. |

No, sorry.
This idea means a lot to me and other people, and I don't want this idea to go into the darkness, heh.
This is an issue we all should care about, preserving the namesake of our precious holidays.
Merry Christmas.
Happy Halloween.
Happy Hanukkah.
Happy Kwanzaa.
All actual holidays..
But then!
'Happy Holidays'
What exactly is this talking about? Labor Day? The commercials called it "This Holiday Weekend", maybe it's referring to that.
Oh by the way I hear the first day of Autumn is soon.
Happy Holidays. |

Support because it would not kill anyone to see Merry Christmas or Happy Hannukah and it feels more special than the PC Happy Holidays.

Maybe if I really summarize this post I'll get someone's attention.
First off, I'm not putting down people who don't celebrate Christmas, that's not my intention.
Second of all, This suggestion means a lot to me and maybe it means a lot to you too.
It's unfair when we say Happy Holidays for Christmas, and only this holiday. We don't say Happy Holidays on Halloween, and Corporate Commercials call things like The Fourth of July or even Labor Day 'This Holiday Weekend'. That said, Happy Holiday does not denote a real holiday.
If ROBLOX were trying to be more inclusive then go ahead make a game denoting a real holiday, like Hanukkah. But calling it Happy Holidays is just a step into the politically correct world we live in and It's not a fair world at that, since it does not denote and actual Holiday.
Maybe someone can see what I'm getting at here and see the importance of this suggestion.
Preserve our Holidays namesakes.
Merry Christmas. |

If ROBLOX were trying to be more inclusive, go ahead and make a game denoting a real holiday, like a game about Hanukkah. But calling an event ROBLOXHOLIDAY does not denote a real holiday. It's obvious ROBLOX is making a Christmas game, so why not call it ROBLOX Christmas?
ROBLOX will continue to step into the world of Politically Correctness if they call it 'Holiday'. Where saying 'Merry Christmas' is offensive to someone, as silly as it sounds.
