A Muslim man was telling the talk show host that he felt that when people say Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Eid Greetings, or Joyous Kwanza, they are just sharing with you the joy they feel about their tradition, and you should accept it in that spirit. It saddens me that saying Merry Christmas has become a political statement about what, to me as an atheist, is a joyful time of year. So lets all say the words that express whatever holiday we celebrate and leave the chips off our shoulders. Merry Christmas from me to you. Personally, I can't wait to see what Santa leaves in my stocking!!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12987195895122894661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11670901.post-1135016271913795612005-12-19T13:17:00.000-05:002005-12-19T13:17:00.000-05:00I'm sorry to hear that you got hassled - I wish pe...I'm sorry to hear that you got hassled - I wish people would stop to think that someone wishing "Merry Christmas" isn't out to convert or insult - just wishing someone a good holiday season!
