What does anyone's belief in naming it have to do with anything. All that person is saying is, "There is a holiday coming up and I hope you enjoy it."<br /><br />Should a person who is not of Irish descent be offended because their office gets decorated with St. Patrick's Day decor? The same with wishing someone a happy Valentines, Halloween, Veteran's Day or anything else. Do we need to just use the generic word holiday when referring to any of them. I don't honestly care what anyone believes, but do we really need to guard our every word because some people are easily offended.<br /><br />I do love your blog, but just don't understand what the big issue is.Brett Minorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181569922751252054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077624495684601002.post-8129078656814111192011-12-29T10:46:50.610-05:002011-12-29T10:46:50.610-05:00Uncle!

Which I suspect is a result of being really bitter and mad about all the things this past year Christians kept trying to do in politics and culture. And yeah, whatever, we all make the same arguments about not all christians are the same ect, but at a certain point you have to stop apologizing for them and acknowledge the fact that separation of church and state is under constant attack in this country and I'm getting really furious about it because I want to live in a country where I'm not forced to live by the cultural laws of one religion I don't believe in, So no, stop saying Merry Christmas to me until you stop trying to make abortion and gays illegal. <br /><br />This is my point, we excuse this cultural dominion and insensitivity because it's the expression of happiness at this particular time of the year, but the very fact that if I choose to not want to hear it, people look at me like I'm the problem is exactly why this matters.Bridget Callahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729980008876962813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077624495684601002.post-5755574825354581302011-12-27T22:44:39.939-05:002011-12-27T22:44:39.939-05:00Yeah.

(Actually, the only very religious people I know in my day-to-day life are not Christian, so that probably skews my notions.) My extended family, though, when I was a kid -- my mother and all her side of things -- were pretty hyper-Christian and conservative, but the religious aspects of Christmas were still kept pretty firmly separated from the non-religious aspects. I mean, I guess, that it was equally as much about Jesus and Important Christian Belief as it was about Santa and candy canes and twinkly lights and stockings to open in the morning.Miss Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744092247386617803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077624495684601002.post-17896626747764319422011-12-24T10:32:01.552-05:002011-12-24T10:32:01.552-05:00Yours is a particularly effective method, and I bo...Yours is a particularly effective method, and I bow to your talent.

It's been a long time since I participated in any church holiday with religious fervor, but when I was a little kid, Christmas was really solemn and serious stuff. I had a pretty overactive imagination though, I was pretty much Melodrama walking around in a kid's suit.Bridget Callahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729980008876962813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077624495684601002.post-5562807886403637902011-12-23T22:44:00.401-05:002011-12-23T22:44:00.401-05:00I have never thought of Christmas greetings (of th...I have never thought of Christmas greetings (of the cheerful "Merry Christmas!) sort to be at all related to the religion/Jesus aspect of things. This could be because I am not a Believer myself, but mostly I think that the religious celebration of the Christmas holiday is pretty far removed from the actual general popular celbration of it -- which is mostly about pretty twinkly lights and telling people you love them and having a legitimate excuse to give people fun things and bake cookies and stuff. Also, I am a pretty firm believer that the holiday-ish wishes one gives to others should be based on the traditions of the giver, not the receiver. Meaning if you celebrate Kwanzaa, go ahead and wish me a Joyous Kwanzaa. If you're Jewish, say Happy Hannukah. If you don't like holidays, don't offer any holiday-related noise at all. &c. But also, if people get pissed because you say something pleasant to them (like Happy Holidays instead of Happy whatever-their-specific-holiday-is) then they are kind of jackasses anyway.Miss Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744092247386617803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077624495684601002.post-74908232777939584182011-12-23T18:01:54.344-05:002011-12-23T18:01:54.344-05:00I was thinking about this earlier today: the diffe...I was thinking about this earlier today: the difference between growing up a city kid or a suburb kid. Like, these aren't as True to me as the photos I take in the city, because I grew up next to the steel mill and didn't see a lot of malls ever. But to a kid who grew up and went to the mall all the time, this probably means something much deeper. I don't actually know where you grew up M., but I mean, in general.Bridget Callahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729980008876962813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077624495684601002.post-20001277006750704292011-12-23T17:33:47.791-05:002011-12-23T17:33:47.791-05:00Those pictures are True.Those pictures are True.mordicaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05713766652793265867noreply@blogger.com
