Merry Christmas!

When I say "Merry Christmas", it translates into: "I hope you have a great Christmas season, unless of course you're Jewish, then I hope you have a Happy Hanukkah. If you're neither, then I wish you a happy Ramadan, Kwanzaa or whatever you believe in. If you don't have a particular religion then I'm meaning have a pleasant December, stay warm, and watch out for the crazy drivers who forgot how to drive in snow since last winter!"
Boy, do I miss the good ol' days, when you could say Merry Christmas without worrying if it was politically correct or not!

Have a happy gathering of family in the spirit of giving. That is what Christmas has come to mean.
Christmas is the coolest pagan Holiday.

It means "Hey, there's this holiday coming up, it was Pagan originally, then it was taken over by the Christians, now most of America, religious or not, celebrates it because getting presents and spending time with family is fun, so anyway, I hope you have a good one!"
At least that's what it means when I say it. :/

Read "Christmas Carol". It shows how a family, even in the hardships, can have a fun time with their family. That is probably we wish to everyone. To remember Jesus and to have a solemn yet fun time with our families.

As long as they're not asking me to "Marry" Christmas, I don't care!
