Sigh...We have proven that members of the Smiley Smile message board can even ruin joyful Christmas wishes with unnecessary backbiting.

Say what you want during the holidays; if someone chooses to be offended that's on him or her.
We have different ideas of our social obligations.
If someone says Merry Christmas to you and you don't celebrate, then just ignore it. Who would ever say it and mean it to be offensive? You take it in the spirit it was given. If someone wished me a Happy Hanukkah or a Happy Kwanzaa I would take no offense to it. I know they mean it in the best possible way.
That's good for you. You should not take offense. I agree.
None-the-less, given that I know some people do take offense, I am not offended by being asked to make a minor change in my behavior, one that doesn't hurt me in the least, to accommodate them.
Evidently some people take unwarranted offense as much as the people they finger-wag at for taking offense.
Evidently!

Exactly. Thank you. Its Christmas whether you celebrate it or not (which I do). Ignore the perpetually-offended class. Merry Christmas.

Would the perpetually-offended class include those who start multiple threads in the sand-box with news items that offend them?

My religion revolves around celebrating Yule. My culture revolves around celebrating Christmas. I can deal with that. Then again, I don't look for reasons to choose to be offended.

In order to be offended one must choose to be offended. There is no other way around it.

So choose to stop being offended by other people being offended.

A very Merry Christmas, or if you're in the colonies, Happy Holidays. Somewhat early, I grant, but from tomorrow afternoon, I'll be somewhat otherwise preoccupied ingesting truly industrial quantities of food that's really bad for me, having more fun than is strictly advisable for someone of my advanced years - in fact, generally enjoying the hell out of the season. I hope you do too. You probably deserve it. I damn well do.
Been a helluva year, both here and out in the Real World: zeniths, nadirs and a truckload of stuff intervening. The 60 Thing wasn't too bad after all. Here's to 61, and 16, and 66 - so much to anticipate. So, again, to all the good people here, Seasons Greetings, and may Santa have read your letter.
And Merry Christmas to you too, AGD, and all here.
The colonies where I am are starting to go OFF - hot weather, sunshine - the big day forecast is 33 (celsius, peeps) and sunny: I'll have to shelve that red wine and crack-out the cold ones instead. Also sparing a thought for those who've been affected by recent and current bush fires these holidays.
Santa definitely read my letter; there's some Dylan action a-comin' my way - enjoy - A

Agreed.
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate Christmas, Happy Holidays to those who do not, and for anyone else in between, enjoy the rest of the year.
^Now if THAT offends anyone, well, namaste and good night.

Ya Andrew...There are a couple of things on the old board which are either hard to ignore or worthy of a response. This would be the latter. Have a great Christmas. Mine'll be a green one. Doubtful that the membership can make it snow here. But *WE* used to back in the day didn't we?
All the best to all the fans. Thankyou too to those who enlighten.
Thanks as well to our moderators. Have a fantastic holiday and ALL the best next year. I'm sure we are all hoping for a few improvements here and there. GAWD!!! We deserve 'em.
Health, love and happiness to ALL. We all deserve THAT too.
