Kinda annoyed by all my pagan friends that posted variations of this status: "Merry Christmas to all my CHRISTIAN friends."
It's a nice sentiment, sure... but it's like did you lose all common sense the day you converted to paganism? There's plenty of us agnostics, atheists, and various other religions that still celebrate Christmas (and pretty damn seriously) because it's a family tradition for us. Why wouldn't you just say "Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it"?
Sometimes I feel like my pagan friends have an unhealthy obsession with Christianity. (I think I dodged this bullet by growing up agnostic, rather than in some uber strict religious household.) Case in point - only one of the pagans bothered to wish people a Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule, and whatever non-Solstice holiday I missed. The rest stayed focused on the Christian/Pagan false dichotomy.
:sigh: Oh well.... Happy Holidays, everyone.
