I find it both sad and downright foolish to make such a huge deal about the wishing of Merry Christmas.

I understand that not everyone has the same belief as I do, that Christ is the central theme of the Christmas holiday, yet the issue of the greeting has been blown entirely out of proportion.

People can wish me any seasonal greeting they wish, and my faith in Christ is not shaken in the least. I would simply appreciate the fact that they took the time to do so.
