Happy shortest day festival yourself.
Why people think we hate Christmas I do not know.
It's just a word with no special meaning that marks a bit of time off and better telly.

Atheists frequently celebrate Christmas as I stated on another thread, but for different reasons.
Merry Christmas to everyone

Why would I hate Christmas? Sure, it's too commercial, but we have a nice time. I couldn't care less that the name refers back to a Christian tradition, which in turn they stole from the pagans. Now Christmas is just a time of year leading up to a date. What you do with that is up to you.
All I'd have a problem with is christians getting in my face and telling me to remember jesus or some crap.

Again thank you each one and glad you're not offended by a Christmas greeting with the word Christmas used. The reason I said what I did in the OP is, many stores want allow their employs to say anything but happy holidays. We've already had a discussion on these store so there's no reason to rehash another thread.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Back atcha, GC. And a Happy Holidays to everyone!
I said Merry Christmas to my boss, and he said "thanks, but I don't celebrate Christmas." I was like, "of all the people to assume!"
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

No clue if this actually works out...or what it means, but...
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
