Are you looking to ban Christmas or something? You're thinking too deep. Party hardy.
One of my ex-assistants was a Jehovah and I stupidly gave him a Christmas card one year . . . . fortunately to gales of laughter.
I'm generally maniacal about the separation of church and state by the way . . . . . but, my questioning on this board of the past existence of Jesus was more of an intellectual exercise. If people want to love Christmas and put some meaning to it - or not - then that's not really my business and I don't see the harm.

Agreed for the most part Mr Cow. I think most of us have had the thrill of wishing someone a Merry Christmas only to find the same issues you had with the JW, or perhaps the Jewish holidays.
Its the idea that we should "respect" the holiday of Christmas or other religious events. My question was more of a rhetorical question. Many here suggest they dont engage in any of the religious ceremonies or activities yet still hang onto some meaning of Christmas AND expect people to
respect that holiday.
I agree with the sentiment that each to their own...for the most part, but please dont suggest that the Christian holiday...or any other religious holiday needs respect outside of the circle that actually celebrates it in its true form.....whatever that is.
