ORIGINAL: Phin
I rarely say any of them, If I am greeted with one, I will repeat it.
there are two kinds of people that this nonsence arguement should be atributed to.
the ones that hear Merry Christmas (or Happy Channukah or whatever) and scream "Dont push your reliegon on me" and the ones that after they hear that they will repeat themselves.
If some one wishes you a happy or merry whatever, they are giving you their blessing to have a good day of whatever their relegion gives them room for. take it as it come and shut the fuck up. This arguement is as annoying as the holidays are.
Once when I was cutting someones hair I asked them what they were going to do for Christmas. His answer was nothing, I saoid "oh no, why not?!" and he answered "Because I'm Jewish" I then said "Oh no, I'm so sorry." He said he loved my sense of humour and that he loved the "run for him money' that I gave him.. Now, I meant the "Oh no, I'm sorry' as oh no, I'm sorry I asked, not Oh no, I'm sorry your Jewish. That guy had such a great sense of humour that even a year later whilst cutting his hair he was still joking about it. He said he came back to me because he'd never had such a good time getting his hair cut.
So, I think your right, if someone wishes you a merry something, it's meant to be as a blessing. I think it's best to accpet it with grace even if you don't celebrate. Cutting hair, I've gotten cards and gifts for all kindsa holiday I didn't even know existed, and I loved each one. I even recieved little cards of money for the chineese new year, how cool is that?!
