I know everyone and their dog are going to pile on now - "but they were only wishing you well!!!". Yeah, well, so is that guy down at Rideau Centre that is constantly screaming "MAY THE GRACE OF GOD BE WITH YOU!" and "MAY OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR WATCH OVER YOU!". Maybe that's what the Walmart greeters should be saying.
So if you want to blame somebody, blame me. The evil heathen atheist.

As a fellow Atheist I don't care if people say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, etc.. I don't care what decorations stores put up, its pretty and really we have much much bigger issues to deal with in life than this.
My only request is that public schools be kept secular, and that government stays out of religion and its holidays.
Other than that, decorate your houses, your churches stores, cars.. I'm more than OK with it all, just don't have the government or our public schools involved.
I think thats only fair.
