		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;But if someone says “Merry Christmas” to me, I’m not going to reply with “Happy Holidays!”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Me either. We agree.</description>

		<description>Oh, one more thing.  One of my customers is &quot;Christian Supply Company&quot;.

I would be shocked if their holiday card did NOT say &quot;Merry Christmas!&quot;.  Likewise, we have some deeply religious friends (who probably have no idea what heathen scum we are!) - I expect their cards to reflect their beliefs also.

I wouldn&#039;t feel anything bad about a business that send me a &quot;Merry Christmas&quot; car - even if they know my beliefs.

If they sent me something overtly asking me to join their church, yeah, I&#039;d be offended.  Tell me gay marriage is wrong or that this should be a &quot;Christian Nation&quot; and I&#039;ll be so offended that I won&#039;t buy from you ever.  But &quot;Merry Christmas&quot;?  No problem.

		<description>No, I&#039;d put &quot;Happy Holidays&quot;.  But if someone says &quot;Merry Christmas&quot; to me, I&#039;m not going to reply with &quot;Happy Holidays!&quot;.

We have &quot;Xmas dinner&quot; here.. our daughter is visiting &quot;Xmas week&quot;..  it&#039;s deep enough into American culture that I don&#039;t feel it HAS to have religious meaning.

		<description>Tony,

Sure, but would you write it on a card for business?

Oh, no, Here we go again...

:)

Re: Humanists—I heard the coolest blurb about Humanist billboards and related issues on NPR a week or two ago, then I was in upstate New York and saw a piece on the billboards on Albany television. Apparently there&#039;s a big Humanist p.r. push for understanding right now. &quot;Tis the season for understanding, why not?

Until later,

Kelly</description>

Brett....YESSS!  I totally agree with what you say!!!  (Where were you the other day when I needed you..it was tough to hold my own against James tag-teaming with Kelly). 

Oh well.  We all had a good laugh in the end. 

It&#039;s Friday.  Let&#039;s all mooch some of Kelly&#039;s mead.  We need to get hammered!  :-)
