Merry Christmas. I also call it a Christmas Tree, not a holiday tree. If I know the individual is jewish, then Happy Hanukkah. All the pagans I know are in the closet, so I don't wish them a Happy Solistice in public.

Merry Christmachanukwanzika!

You're awesome!! Thanks

since I'm a smart ass and really, really childish

I make it a point to say Merry Christmas if I know it will offend someone

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Interesting - all the pagans I know either say "Happy Yule" or return whatever greeting is offered them with a smile. I use "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Yule" unless I know the person I'm speaking to has a different preference.

Honestly...most folks I know don't really care what you say as long as you say it with a smile and friendly intent.

I hear ya, I smile when I flip people off

Merry Christmas!

Actually, if we wanted to be really accurate and true to the reason why we celebrate anything on December 25th, we would be saying "Happy Winter Solstice!" That's really the reason for the date, the decorated tree... Yes, I am being a smart-a$$.

I use both. I am always around a very diverse group of people and so I will always wish them to have a happy holiday that they celebrate. I always send out Christmas cards with "Merry Christmas" on them, but my Jewish friends will get a separate card for Chanukah and my Muslim friends will get wishes for a happy Ramadan. It doesn't bother me to be "PC" when it comes to the December celebrations.

People get huffy with me whenever I point this out.

Yeah, I know. This is why I usually don't. Unless it's my mother, I love to ruffle her feathers. Especially on Christmas Eve... LOL

St. Nick comes Sat. night

Generally, Happy Holidays

There are so many celebrations at this time of the year!!!

We usually have a Solstice bonfire & invite a few friends over for a cookout & drinks. It's a handy way of celebrating with friends (most of whom don't even realize it's Solstice) without getting in the way of family obligations on the 24th or 25th. I'm a bit ticked that it falls on a Monday this year.

That's true.

if a de-humbugger has anything resembling a tractor seat, you may want to avoid it

Who thinks up these names?? So, you probably haven't seen that episode with Leslie?
