Never be smug about anything
Thanksgiving leftovers aren’t the only things that get reheated this time of year — so do the “Christmas wars,” and with it people’s tempers. While you may be chided for saying “Merry Christmas,” you haven’t lost sight of the many other real threats to religious expression.

Quick note to world: you will not be chided for saying “Merry Christmas.” No, you won’t. You never have been. No, you haven’t. The end. Knock it off. 

PS: If occasionally having to hear other viewpoints or share a national holiday with other religions strikes you as a threat to your expression, you should try not being able to get married, or having religious and political leaders call you Satan.

I get tired of this whining. Really. I celebrate Christmas but I’m aware that not everyone does, so WHAT IS WRONG with saying “happy holidays” just in case that person is a Jew or pagan or Moslem or Hindu? Everyone has a holiday this time of year. Let’s celebrate them all! So when I’m with people I know are Christians, I’ll say “Merry Christmas.” Otherwise it’s “Happy holidays” for me.
