Same thing, so just 'Have a nice day' and 'get over it' .

Problem: Saying Merry Christmas vs Happy Holidays. Secularists and atheists argue separation of church and state, and the possibility of offending someone who is not a "believer."
Oh irony you bitter sweet triumph.
The origin of the word HOLIDAY:

Middle English, from Old English hāligdæg ; 'holy day'.

So, holiday stems from "Holy Day."
Not a Pagan myself but the practice of burning a yuppie in a wicker basket deserves some thought.

Peace & love be with you all......

1. Hmmmmmm...

...I was once a Yuppie AND a Pagan. I'm too old now and don't make enough money to be a yuppie, anymore, but none of my Pagan friends ever considered burning me in a basket.

4. We are hoping not to resort to using the 'just joshing' tag.

I am smiling, the days are getting longer.

6. I figured you were.

But...still...

2. *sigh!* I'm tired of worrying about this kind of crap.

I usually say 'Merry Christmas'. Except to the Jewish couple I know. Nobody has expressed their horror or outrage so far.

3. Pre snark alert, this was a sarcastic post.

Hope everyone has a great NEW YEAR

5. We all know this country was founded on Festivus doctrine.

I got a lot of proplems with you people. And you're gonna here about it!

7. What about (aboot for canadians) Saturnalia? Well worth remembering I say.

8. Will not edit, would like to clear up

" Middle English, from Old English, haligdæg.

Saturnalia is a good haligdæg too.
Thanks and peace to all.
