Dear non-religious Christmas celebrator,
Why does Christmas need to become a secular event? Why can't I have signs saying "Merry Christmas" in my store windows? Why does it have to be "Happy Holidays?" Why can't I sing Away in a Manger in school along with Jingle Bells. I understand that you may not choose to celebrate the religious aspect of Christmas, and that's just fine. But the plain fact of the matter is that Christmas is a religious holiday, no matter how you look at it. I'm not trying to force my Christianity on you by wishing you a Merry Christmas or by singing traditional religious Christmas carols. I'm just celebrating Christmas the way I see fit, just like you are. Why does my way of celebrating = closed minded or offensive? And why can we talk about Hanukkah and Kwanzaa without any repercussions, but Christmas is taboo?
How about this for a solution: I'll wish you a Merry Christmas, you respond with a Happy Holidays, Eid, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or whatever, and we'll both smile and go our separate ways.
Sincerely,
your religious Christmas celebrating neighbor

Do you still want to have a grading party? I have internet at home now!
AMEN! I completely agree.
P.S. I'm getting excited!!!!
Some little Muslim kids came to my office today and wished my a Happy Eid. I wished them a Happy Eid in return and never once felt like they were trying to force their religion on me.
I'm not Muslim, they're not Christian and I don't see either one of us converting any time soon.
I guess it's kind of a novel idea to not act like a spoiled two year old about it.
I think people who dont celebrate xmas should work on xmas. The government doesnt want us to say Merry Chirstmas anymore, since its politically incorrect, so they should work too. ;)
MARRY CHRISTMASSSSSSSS
Oh Kelly I sooooooooooooooooooooo agree!!!
