    I’m an atheist and ethnically Jewish and I’ve never enjoyed Christmas. If anyone would be attacking anyone for saying, “Merry Christmas,” it would be me.

    When someone says “Merry Christmas” to me, my usual response is, “thanks, you too.”

    Because, unlike Conservatives (apparently), I’m okay with people saying something I don’t agree with when they’re just trying to be friendly.

      That’d be because you’re a functioning adult that can recognise when someone means well (or isn’t traumatised when they don’t).

      Remember how desperate conservatives used to be to paint everyone else as fragile little snowflakes? Even they seemed to realise how dumb that was.

      Meh, I make a point to say happy holidays back just because I like getting a rise out of idiots.
