I do but am feeling increasingly pressured not to do so. I'm sad about that. It's called "Christmas", but my wife didn't dare use "that" word in the 100s of "Holiday Cards" we just sent to past and current clients, friends and family. Only very close family get a "Christmas card" anymore.

She has a point. Why risk offending someone? But still. Seems like the new avatar for the season ought to be egg shells and tip toes. The spirit is different.

AWWWWW! I bet it gets really sad when Santa doesn't bring you the right gift....


Why do you insist others have a "Merry" anything????


You just can't wish Peace and Goodwill all around??? With a simple "Hope you have a nice day"..???


If people don't line up en masse to say words YOU need to hear your day is ruined???



Oh, maturity, thoughtfulness, consideration for others, free will.......wherefore art thou?

Yes I do say Merry Christmas. Not many people seem to find it offensive.

And I'm Agnostic. I don't think Christmas is really that "Christian" of a holiday nowadays anyway.

I quote AC/DC from Back in Black this time of the year when greeting people with a simple "Hey hey Satan, hey now Jews, playin in a rockin band"

And THAT, folks, is the true "spirit of Christmas"

People who know me know I don't celebrate that holiday, so they don't say it to me. Problem solved.

Does it make you feel good to make someone feel bad for offering good wishes? Some people are so focused on political correctness that they lose sight of good intentions.

I say, greet, depart, on the phone and write "Have a Good Christmas Holiday Season."
There is more than one holiday going on and its a happy medium.

so...

Have a Good Christmas Holiday Season
