Ok, picture this, if you will.
You are picking up a few things at your local grocery store. It is between the dates of Dec 1st and Dec 25th. The cashier is polite, helpful, and cheery. When the transaction is over, you give her a heartfelt "Merry Christmas!" to which she replies "And a very happy Mithras-mas to you, too!"
What would your reaction be? Would you be angry? Amused? What would you say?
I'm thinking of conducting a little social experament at work and want to know what you all think. :)
(Mithras is, for those who don't know, a Pagan god who's birthday was once celebrated on Dec 25th. It's because of this that we now celebrate Christmas on this date. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithras )
