re: #81 Unshaken Defiance

Who was ever offended by a misplaced pleasant greeting? Short of channeling a porcupine personality, why be upset? So then why worry about saying Merry Christmas in stead of Happy Holidays outside of a Mosque, Jewish Temple or House Of Flying Spaghetti Monster (aka take out pizza) ? If someone puffs up and says “I’m atheist I don’t believe in magic Jesus” I’ll just wish them a great weekend, what with Christmas falling on Saturday.

Right, the greeting is meant to be polite. And ya know there is a big holiday one week after Christmas. Bing Crosby was singing Happy Holiday. The Pilgrims didn’t even believe in celebrating Christmas.
