it just reminds me of piagetian egocentrism ... just because you and everyone you know celebrates christmas, it doesn't mean EVERYONE celebrates christmas. like i said, i understand they are tryna be nice and i appreciate the gesture, but i still am kindaOriginally Posted by laflech44
but what's offensive about that?
if someone wished me a Happy Hanukkah I wouldn't be offended.
It's just someone trying to be polite/nice... like you said keep it moving.

A lot of people I know aren't as religious as I am. When they wish me Merry Christmas, I return the favor. But I'll normally say, "Happy Holidays," and I get more of a response than from "Merry Christmas."

i get what you mean... i use to feel the same exact way when they would tell me "have a nice day" after making a purchase somewhere or when you see an acquaintance they say "how are you" like they actually care
.. i get that people do these things to be nice and i dont mind but it just seems like they say these things just for the sake of it

Sucks that you live in one of those "Machista" families, I as someone who doesn't care what the next person is doing, would bother the *+%+ out of me. That's just me of course.
Exactly.
Some people put too much thought into things so small and insignificant that it amazes me. I see it in the same light as people who look for a fight.
Just say "thank you" and keep it moving dude, it really isn't that serious.
Feliz Navidad.
For the record: When I worked retail, as well as doing cable, I said Happy Holidays
