I will indeed have a nice day on Christmas Day- with Chinese food and a new release in the theaters like the rest of my Jewish peeps. I just smile and wish them a Merry Christmas right back-I do honestly hope they will have a Merry Christmas in any way they celebrate!!Tails from the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691338859387356469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044314274258588678.post-90518989201924210262011-12-20T14:44:48.024-05:002011-12-20T14:44:48.024-05:00Great post!

I used to only say "happy holidays"; when I was a teacher I was terrified of mis-speaking "Merry Christmas." But now, I embrace the greeting, and say it to all who celebrate. I even bought Christmas cards instead of holiday cards! :)Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216194365319691319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044314274258588678.post-39914721574456697112011-12-10T18:16:16.963-05:002011-12-10T18:16:16.963-05:00very well said.

So very well said. I’m s...I totally agree, bestie! So very well said. I’m so disheartened by the intolerance and outright hatred exhibited by some of our brothers and sisters this time of year. Bill O’Reilly preaches about the “War on Christmas.” Why do we have to turn it into a war? While I celebrate Christmas, and would like to wish others a Merry Christmas, I also like to show people of other religions the same respect that I want to be shown. I don’t expect to get a “Happy Hannukah” card from my Jewish (through marriage) uncle. We send a Happy Hannukah card to his family. In doing so, I’m not denouncing my faith; I’m respecting his. I’m wishing HIM the happiest of HIS personal holidays. The best you can do is keep your beliefs, and share them when appropriate while respecting the beliefs of others. I like to think that’s what Christ would have wanted. Love, love, love this post.<br /><br />p.s. Such a beautiful picture of y'all! Love it!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17853779545660014189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044314274258588678.post-7903808208583751362011-12-09T13:52:01.234-05:002011-12-09T13:52:01.234-05:00What a wonderful post!!
