Yes, I'm saying it. I'm sure as heck not Christian, but I'm still wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

True, yet I have some friends who get snippy about this sort of thing.

(How sure is heck if you're not Christian?)

Best wishes.

If my understanding is correct, it is almost guaranteed if I'm not Christian. :)

A merry christmas to you too, from one "cultural christian" to another!
There recently was a church service as one of the activities here on the rehab floor. i've never been asked so many times if I'm going to an optional activity before! I kept telling them that I was a good heathen but they would't believe it!
then, when everyone else was at 'church', and I was in my room, a person from chaplaincy services 'just happened' to come by. he was agitating that there wasn't a religion marked on my admission documents.
I told him that I was buddhist. (which is actually quite true--the broad strokes of buddhism fit my underlying spiritual beliefs much more than the broad strokes of christianity). the man then got a shocked buggy eyed look on his face, looked at his sheets, and supprisedly said "we have a box for that!" , ticked it off and left. this amused me greatly, and I hope it means that I will no longer get bugged so much when it it time for the next church service on the ward...

merry midwinter feast-festival/return of the light after equinox celebration to all, no matter what your persuasion!

Thank you.

Hope the little check-box does make it easier. I'm surprised they don't have a checkbox for "agnostic" or "atheist". Oh well.

they probably did, but this was more fun, and probably got a better look on the guy's face. ;-> i'm also hoping less persistent invitations to church services on the ward later in my stay.
