[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 107579, member: 179"] This is not the only season that goes through this. I've learned over years of teaching to not say 'Merry Christmas,' but have a good winter break. The other one is during Easter. You'd never think that 200 12 year olds would love a good Easter Egg hunt, but they [b]LOVE[/b] it. I had to rename it to the 'Spring Egg Hunt.' I'd hide a good 500 or so eggs around the campus. They would go nuts, regardless of their religous persuasion. Now, I really don't care what person's spiritual views are. I enjoy learning about them all. But, when someone gets their tighty-whities in a bind because I use the wrong expression...that annoys me. What annoys me even more, is that in my daily life now, I've resorted to saying those religious friendly phrases. It's almost automatic. I don't say, "Merry Christmas" anymore. I say...Happy Holidays. Have a great winter break. It's nice, but it's not what the season is about. [img]:bah-humbug:[/img] Blah. Abbey [/QUOTE]
