This is what I thought, too, as I posted somewhere--lol! I think some of my remarks have not been interpreted correctly, which is probably my fault. I tend to get tongue tied, or in this case, finger crossed:7

See all this energy y'all got goin on (and I also appreciate that this kind of dicussion can be had civilly on these boards - love you all for that ? Take that energy and GO WORKOUT!!!!!!!!

RE: Christmas Cards

I've read through most of the posts and I just have to say, As a Jewish person, (grew up in Jersey, very diverse) most people have always said Merry Christmas to me and mostly I just said thank you or same to you and didn't think much about it. Once I had children though it made me feel bad on year, when someone made a big deal about my 3 year old and what is Santa going to get him and on and on about Christmas and my son just looked at me and I very nicely told her we don't celebrate. She was just being nice and I didn't want to hurt her feelings. But after that I would, if my children were with me very NICELY say we don't celebrate and most times people were okay with that. So now that we have the pc Happy Holidays I like it. I do have to say though that it may have gone to far. For my younger sons teachers gift, I gave the gift to him to give to her and told him to say Merry Christmas because we know she celebrates that and he felt uncomfortable saying that to her (he is 7). And I thought that was sad. I guess what I'm saying is it is nice to be recognized that I don't celebrate Christmas but do have a holiday, but I am sad that we can't tell people Merry Christmas without feeling bad, or weird about it.
