I won’t be offended…
This is not meant to be an exhaustive list. I’m not that smart or good at researching such things.
If you are protestant and greet me with “Merry Christmas” before Advent is over, I won’t be offended.
If you are Jewish and greet me with an Chanukah greeting, I won’t be offended.
If you are Muslim and greet me with an Eid greeting, I won’t be offended.
If you are pagan and greet me with a Yule or winter solstice greeting, I won’t be offended.
If you are atheist and greet me with “Hello”, I won’t be offended.
If you greet me in any way for a holiday in this season based on your religious beliefs, I won’t be offended.
I will also do my best to respect you and your beliefs and not offend you, short of compromising my own beliefs.
All I ask is that you not get offended if I greet you with a greeting based on my religious beliefs and not do anything to offend me.
Simple enough?

I love it. This post clearly illustrates some of the absurd things that offend some people.
My advice? Take care of yourself, make sure that you’re right with God, and do your best to live a life that imitates the God who created us. It’s not as simple as it sounds, but believe me, it works.

…I am not offended either. And good choice for the Feel Good Music for Friday (though it is Saturday…no offense).
Love me some Descendents!
