Whether you celebrate an appropriated pagan ritual, or just the spirit of giving, may your year-end be excellent, and next year see your country and company return to sanity.

Here’s something I don’t understand- Christmas is the celebration of Jesus’s birthday so if you don’t believe in Jesus why are you celebrating it?
2026: Take out the orange trash.
@ef 'She was silent, stunned, and in a monotone voice said “happy holidays” and then hung up.'
Yeah, it sounds like she didn't want to have to wish anything like that and just end the call, but you put the social expectation of a reply on her. Having worked in a call center myself, I can assure you that it gets old having to politely tell everyone something off script just to maintain the facade of happiness.
Try having some empathy.
I was at the post office the other day. When I was done paying for what I was sending, the clerk said "Merry Christmas!" And I heartily replied, "and a very merry Christmas to you too!"
It was refreshing. "Happy Holidays" is the biggest load of bu11sh1t ever invented. Its to remove your religion, your past, your beliefs. Nope. For me, its "Merry Christmas!!" forever.
So what you’re saying is, she realized I was of a certain demographic and discriminated against me. Is that fair to say?
@d7 so you're upset that someone who had worked with you to solve an issue realized you were of a certain demographic because of your insistence to narrowly define yourself based on a statement you made?
You only have yourself to blame.
I said merry Christmas to someone in banker connection the other day and they literally seemed mortified by it. She was silent, stunned, and in a monotone voice said “happy holidays” and then hung up.
This was after working together for 45 minutes and solving one of the most difficult problems I’ve ever solved, and we got along well through it all.
The agenda is still alive.
Everything is pagan it’s depressing but hey enjoy pto!!!! Fu-k this place.
