Every year I read on some list or other discussions regarding whether or not to wish others a Merry Christmas; on lists which have nothing at all to do with religion. It is sad. Particularly at a time in our history when other minority groups are demanding, and for the most part getting the respect they deserve. Can’t we keep religion off secular lists. Not all of us are Christian. Sent from Mail for Windows

I have to say I'm a Christian, an Anglican priest, and I don't feel the need to proselytize at Christmas. 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!

Nothing pisses me off more than when someone’s religion is disrespected. 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.
