Re: Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it
Glad to see someone get it right every now and then. I just turned down an invitation from an assistant dean here for a "holiday party". Told her "I often attended Christmas parties this time of year, but I do NOT attend 'Holiday Parties'".Graham Banks wrote:Hope you all get some time off to spend with your family and loved ones.
She gave me the "we have to respect everyone's religion." My response was "and they have to respect ours." I don't mind some celebrating Hanukkah, some celebrating this, some celebrating that. I don't mind the British celebrating boxing day for goodness sakes. But _I_ celebrate Christmas on December 25, as I have done for 67 times now..
And for the record, "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good 'knight'"...
