Yes, and even if someone doesn't believe in the Christ of Christmas, why should anyone be offended by being wished goodness, blessings and happiness during this season. I had a jewish friend who was a holocost survivor, gone now, but if someone who didn't know wished him Merry Christmas, he would simply wish it back. He knew they meant well and wanted to share their happiness with him and visa versa. We need to all respect each other's beliefs and be gracious to each other. So Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it. Judy & Libby

Many persons wish others a Merry Christmas, and it's just a friendly greeting of the season. Christmas, apart from religious significance for some of us, is a time of special time with family or friends, a time apart from normal routines when people can relax and take time they might not normally do, to enjoy loved ones and special treats. So, merry Christmas to all! May each of us find a break from COVID grimness!

Many Christians need to proselytize to practice their faith. It is not unusual for deeply Christian people to offer strangers cheer and fellowship near the holiest of days. That is part of their religious practice. Kelly On 12/18/21, Shirley Tracy <shirleytracy16@...> wrote: Merry Christmas. |
