I celebrate Christmas. I am happy at this time of the year and I wish you merriment as well. That’s all. What’s to be bothered about there? I’m not saying that you have to celebrate Christmas, too. I am not insisting that you recognize Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal savior, and mark this as the time of His birth.

I’m just saying be merry. If you don’t want to be merry, then to hell with you. Just don’t blame me because you’re miserable. This is Christmastime and I wished you a merry one. You can wish me a merry whatever holiday you are celebrating and I will accept that sentiment in the spirit in which you offered it. Even if I don’t personally celebrate Chanukah or Kwanzaa or whatever, I am not going to get insulted if you wish me a happy one. I’m going to consider it a token of brotherhood and good cheer and say something nice back to you.
