VERY well said. I am a Christian. I say happy holidays most of the time. Mainly because I sing Andy Williams' version in my head all winter long, lol.I'm an atheist, and I wish people a Merry Christmas, if they look festive or if they wish me a Merry Christmas. Just because I don't believe doesn't mean I come all-over grinch-like because someone else does believe. I like the nativity scenes fine, too: they add color to the park. What I hate about "the holidays" is the constant, blaring commercialism.
