*I think you have to walk a very thin line to avoid these items,even wishing "a merry christmas" can be offending to other religions.

This is a myth. Find me one person who is sincerely offended by "Merry Christmas" on religious grounds. Are you offended by Eid or Diwali?

Oh gawd...

In the community I lived in before Hurricane Rita there were a few that gave me much venom for saying it.

One was a pagan that got riled up because I, also pagan, actually wished  Merry Christmas to a Christian..... I told them where to stuff thier rightious indignation, another was of a Judeo-Christian sect that does not observe Christmas, and they totally went off on me.  And these were in the deep south of Texas, somewhere I would have never guesses it to be un-safe to say.

This was two Christmas's ago and I still don't get it. :rolleyes:  Good thoughts for another are good thoughts for another, IMO, and if there is no thinly veiled insult (rare, but it happens) I will always give a sincere thanks.

Orchid - glad to be in a new place that she hasn't run into this in. :)
