Some people take themselves more seriously than we and others take them. Have a Merry and a safe Christmas.

We don't!

Why do outsiders lump us all into whatever group they happen to notice?

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

No disrespect to other religions, but I'd expect them to say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah (is that the right sp?) and whatever other holidays are around this time to me, like I would to them...

Regardless of your religion, Christmas is hardly a solely Christian thing these days anyway - It's more about capitalism and severe debt than about the birth of Christ

To play it safe this is a more appropriate greeting.

By accepting this greeting you are bound by these terms that: -


This greeting is subject to further clarification or withdrawal;
This greeting is freely transferable provided that no alteration shall be made to the original greeting and that the proprietary rights of the wishorare acknowledged.
This greeting implies no promise by the wishor to actually implement any of the wishes.
This greeting may not be enforceable in certain jurisdictions and/or the restrictions herein may not be binding upon certain wishees in certain jurisdictions and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wishor.
This greeting is warranted to perform as reasonably may be expected within the usual application of good tidings, for a period of one year or until theissuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first.
The wishor warrants this greeting only for the limited replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wishor.
Any references in this greeting to "the Lord", "Father Christmas", "Our Savior", "Rudolph the red nosed reindeer" or any other festive figures, whether actual or fictitious, dead or alive, shall not imply any endorsement by or from them in respect of this greeting, and all proprietary rights in any referenced third party names and images are hereby acknowledged.
