I don't see any rights being squashed by saying either "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays"... just think about who your audience is.Nohmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810408271483617763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20374252.post-76382332739732784872009-09-29T18:06:12.258-05:002009-09-29T18:06:12.258-05:00I laughed.I laughed.Joe A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01829844489009564295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20374252.post-83131772602016809882009-09-29T15:34:16.601-05:002009-09-29T15:34:16.601-05:00I'm almost there, Wayne.

People ...Very ironic, that motto of Arizona's!<br /><br />People who try and remove the 'Christ' from Christmas are - excuse my French - pedantic a$$holes. I always make a point of saying Merry Christmas (especially to my atheist friends) because we should never forget the history and traditions of the culture we live in and, more importantly, IT'S CHRISTMAS!<br /><br /><br />Nobody's going to get offended by an ornament that says 'Happy Birthday Jesus'. They might think that it was silly to think that Jesus was born on Dec 25th, but that's about it.<br /><br />Seriously Wayne, I'm 100% on your side with this and when I go to Church this Christmas with my girlfriend's family, I will be sure to wish everyone I meet a very, Merry Christmas indeed.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />MattExPatMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08666078524214384329noreply@blogger.com
