Don't these old hens have something better to do?
Imagine how they'd feel if there were huge billboards on 224 for Hannukah or Ramadan.

Good for them. More power to them! More christians should take their lead. I hate this whole sanitized greeting thing. It is MERRY CHRISTMAS! Thank you for putting the signs up!

Yea, feed the homeless or something with your money. I "celebrate" christmas but i'm not a religious person.
Whenever someone i don't know tells me "Merry Christmas", i assume they're an idiot... why would you say that to someone without knowing anything about them or their beliefs?

I don't think they'd mind. The point is that EVERY religion other than Christianity has the right to name their holidays (and holy days). These ladies are saying it's about time we take our rights back.
Anyone who is offended by someone speaking the name of one of their religions holiest days is either thin-skinned, or just a jerk.
Personally, I think it's the jerk option.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night!

What difference does that make? They are simply being nice and polite. If you find that offensive, maybe the problem is YOURS. Perhaps you should be asking yourself why you are offended by someone being nice?
