This person is extremely rude and self centered the other 364 days of the year but gave us all a little bag of candy as though we get along lovely. What is the best way to respond?

I'd just say thank you and tell him to try to be this nice the other 364 days a year.

I'd have to go with the majority here. It may be that the guy doesn't have good social skills. Or maybe someone else made him do it. Either way the point is he did it and he should be thanked. I'm assuming one or both of you weren't there last year - If you were, what happened?

I would want to ignore him but I believe God would want me to turn the other cheek and show him kindness although not deserving of it. Maybe a desktop calendar with nice sayings or funny things so that it might lighten the mood around there.

Say thank you, but don't accept the gift. If he asks why, then tell him why. It happened to me once when I had an awful supervisor. I'm sure he was either Satan himself or a close relative.

it quite is not lots that persons are not saying "Merry Christmas". i'm no longer indignant if somebody says Merry Christmas or satisfied trip journeys. What bothers fairly some conservative is whilst people let us know we gained't say Merry Christmas. remember, this war on Christmas stuff started whilst managers at Walmart (or it ought to have been aim - i do no longer remember which) does not permit their greeters say "Merry Christmas" through fact it replaced into offensive to those that are no longer Christian. I remember i replaced into very indignant approximately it. It fizzled out after a at the same time as through fact shops like Walmart stopped implementing the "do no longer say Merry Christmas" rule. I basically have been given over it. yet i lately have been given fired up approximately it back through fact I understand that at the same time as we are all sensitve approximately hurting the sentiments of people who're Muslim, it quite is to Hell with the Christians. whilst are we going to end preaching approximately non secular tolerance and actually BE tolerant of all religions (sans extremists who kill)? Oh, I see. we gained't offend the customer yet we are able to offend the worker in which you warn them to no longer say "Christmas". of direction, i'm going to proceed to refuse to save at those places wherein managers tell their workers to no longer say "Merry Christmas". save proprietors might have a right to tell their workers to no longer say the feared C-word - basically like I ought to right to no longer save at their business enterprise. it quite is basically too undesirable that the employees are caught interior the middle and can verify in the event that they opt to maintain a job that forestalls them from being overtly Christian.
