If you're the one like me who is not one of those Christians,
With all the good thoughts, I am sure you didn't realize how offensive your first sentence was. Would you mind correcting it? Best wishes, Annamaria
Thank you! Sincerely...I didn't mean to offend anyone.

Dear Annamaria,
If any colleague anywhere in the world feels like sending out his or her best wishes for Yom Kippur, Mid-Sha'ban, St. George's Caye Day, National Hop-around-on-your-toes-Day or whatever, I might reply with best wishes. If this particular holiday concerns me, that is. But I will never EVER reprimand people, tell them that they are offensive or dare to ask them to CORRECT themselves simply because their holiday does not concern me.
Wow.

I hope everyone finds the time to relax, reflect and refresh themselves over the holiday season.
To help the mood along, here's a lovely work by Michael Praetorius:

Enjoy!

A very Merry Christmas and wonderful holiday break to all!
| | | | | Feliz Navidad | Dec 21, 2010 |
Not the title of the most famous and overrated Christmas song in Spanish, but the real deal phrase to wish all of you the merriest of Christmas.
¡Feliz Navidad!

Nicole, I think you really misunderstood my post. I am quite concerned in this holiday, and that was the very reason why I let James know that he expressed his good wishes with such an unfortunate phrasing that it sounded offensive for the very ones this holiday is named about (Christ-ians) - his initial post sounded like: "who is not one of those Christians" as if something was terribly wrong with the "those" Christians. I kindly let him know his phrasing didn't reflect his obvious good intentions.
Having said that, best wishes to everyone,
Áldott Karácsonyt, Praznic luminos, Merry Christmas and an abundant New Year!
