(Although I <I>almost</I> posted a blog about the White House's invitation to a Hanukkah party that had a picture of a Christmas scene on the front. I just might have to break down and post that one.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7506619229117577136.post-73019349000687980072008-12-19T06:35:00.000-08:002008-12-19T06:35:00.000-08:00Terry - I totally see the wisdom of not discussing...Terry - I totally see the wisdom of not discussing religion or politics.

While it's true that if you grabbed 100 people off the street in this town, nearly all of them would celebrate Christmas, I get just a tad annoyed when people assume it's my holiday as well. <BR/><BR/>I don't discuss religion or politics, and my surname name isn't tied to my faith, so I'm not surprised that people assume I'm joining them in the holiday spirit.<BR/><BR/>What really fries me is when people who <I>do</I> know me send me faith-based greeting cards. If I'm just one more name on their card list, cross me off. <BR/><BR/>I don't send cards anymore. But I've often wondered what people would think if I sent everyone on what used to be my "Happy Holidays" card list Hanukkah cards. I've often smiled and responded "Happy Hanukkah" to people who wish me a Merry Christmas. I mean, if they want me to enjoy their holiday, who am I to say they shouldn't enjoy mine.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.com
