When someone wishes you well for the holiday that matters most in their life, take it as the compliment that it is – best wishes on a favorite holiday. So when I say Merry Christmas, please don’t politicize, prothlesize or use it as an opportunity to tell me that my beliefs are wrong. Understand that what I’m saying to you is simple:
Best wishes to you, your family and those important to you on a day that is important to me.
Merry Christmas.
