What I have a problem with, is someone wishing me Merry Christmas when they don't wish me any kind of merriness at all. If they know I'm NOT a Christmas celebrant, Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays is more about THEM than me.
I hate to tell you sky, but wishing someone anything is about you wishing your whatever onto some else.
ff will wish someone merry christmas as she celebrates christmas
Jews will wish a happy Hanukkah
muslims will wish a happy ramadan ( i think, dont know for sure)
and so on.
Happy New Year is wishing someone a happy new year. Tashi Deleg means "may all be auspicious for you".
Merry Christmas is meaningless if you don't celebrate Christmas. Merry Christmas is a religous greeting. It presupposes you find Christmas to be merry.
FF will wish Merry Christmas whether the person is Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist or atheist, and it has NOTHING to do with well wishing. It has to do with shoving her religion onto others, and thinking she's entitled to do so. FF doesn't want anyone else to use a greeting other than Merry Christmas. I disagree. I have no problem wishing Christians Merry Christmas, even the aggressive ones like FF. I hope she has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Well wishing is appropriate to each. Happy Hannukah for a Jew. Happy New Year for an atheist. Happy Holidays for non-christians. Tashi Deleg for Tibetan Buddhists.
JMO, of course.
This whole thread is a "put up yer dukes, I'm gonna say Merry Christmas to you whether that offends you or is meaningless to you. Very aggressive.
Personally, I wouldn't get a merry or happy wish of any kind from FF. She hates my guts.
May all beings be happy. May whatever makes you happy be abundant in your life. May those who find Solstice meaningful be happy. May Jews be happy at Hannukah and throughout the year. May Christmas be meaningful for followers of Christ and people who just enjoy being with family on this day.
May all have a Happy New Year.
