I hope you have a Merry Christmas. You're obviously in need of one. :)

No, thank you. Keep your religious holiday to yourself, please. I don't go shoving the winter solstice in your face, stop doing the same with Christmas.

Thank you.

Simmer yourself. He is not forcing anything on you, you can dismiss it or you can respond in kind. Your reply was unwarranted.

As it is, may the good nature of Christmas be visited upon you, even if the holiday does not.

Christmas is about so much more than the birth of Christ. Its about goodwill, peace, joy, and happiness. So a Happy Winter Solstice to you.

It really irks me when people go around saying "merry christmas" - no, it doesn't spread cheer or goodwill, it's just imposing your religious holiday on another person. Why can't you just keep it to yourself? If you want to wish me well, wish me well! Don't do it because of some story you believe in. :rolleyes:

I don't believe in God, and I'm feeling extremely bitter right now, because life rather sucks.

But merry bloody christmas anyway.

To cheerfully correct your response I am not a Christian. I just find Christmas to be a good median for spreading goodwill.

I understand your point of view, but he never said, "Come and celebrate the birth of Christ with me."

I think you would do well to understand the intentions of his comments, as the goodwill and cheer seems to stop at your doorstep.

And Christmas is something else, apparently?

No, I understand his intentions - posting first in the "Christmas sucks" thread and creating a new one: to rub christmas in people's noses.

Alright, Pagans. Listen, when people tell you merry Christmas, they're trying to be nice. People thought I was jewish at one point, told me Happy Hannunkah. I didn't care! I knew they meant well. So get the stick out of your behind and say thankyou for wishing me well as opposed to all this anti-Christian mumbo jumbo.

We're trying to be nice and lets leave it at that.

How have I done that? Nobody forced you to repeatedly enter this thread.

I doubt this will pass through your "Anything with Christian undertones is an affrontment to my religion" radar, but I am an agnostic, recently an athiest. I still, however, celebrate Christmas, and find that it is a wonderful time to reflect on the power of good will and good deeds. Assign whatever meaning you wish to Christmas, but please don't ruin it for the rest of us.
