To those of you who celebrate the birth of Jesus by remembering and keeping that values He taught, and who spend the time with family in quiet and thoughtful reflection and relaxation, or give of themselves to bring comfort and joy to mankind, we wish you a Merry Christmas!
To the bitter old self-important blow-hards who see Christmas as an opporunity for crass demagoguery to force other people to acknowledge that your particular religion is the only one with a legitimate claim on the traditions borrowed from Paganism, so that you can be a hero in the fight against your imaginary enemies who are trying to "persecute" you by not giving you the greeting you prefer at the stores that exploit your holiday for financial gain - I bid you a "Season's Greetings".
