Donald Trump has taken credit for people being able to say "Merry Christmas" after that had, according to some questionable reports, become annoying to people who are not Christians for example.
How actually annoying though are those people who say, "See you next year," when they really mean within a few days, but after January 1st?

Let's rate how annoying they are on a scale of zero to ten where zero is not annoying and ten means they should be put in prison for a "year" (wink).

If it weren't for Trump, we'd have to say "Merry No Jesus ever was born by a virgin" every 25th of December, or we'd be thrown in prison. That's a long phrase to say just in passing, and the hard of hearing might not hear the whole phrase, and tell the gestapo to send us to prison, so thank you, Donald Duck, I mean Donald Trump.

Tonight when Catman serves up their dinner, he will tell Xander and Andrew, "Now no more food until next year!"

Are you forgetting? You could say, "Happy Winter Solstice on the Julian Calendar!" I read somewhere that a time would come when people would be thrown in prison just for being Christians. I suppose that has happened in history already more than once. The bizarre thing is the case where one denomination throws the other in prison. But these days? Really? Speaking for myself I have never been insulted by anyone genuinely wishing me well, no matter what they believe or not or understand or don't.

If anyone wishes me a "Merry Christmas" then I wish them a "Merry Christmas" back. If they wish me "Happy Holidays" then I wish them "Happy Holidays" back. If I go first and I don't know them, I wish them "Happy Holidays." If they reply "Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas" I reply to their reply "and Merry Christmas to you too." Only if I know people and know they genuinely celebrate Christmas do I lead the well wishing with "Merry Christmas." Donald Trump has not changed anything for me at all, except that now I am more reluctant than before to wish anyone a "Merry Christmas."

A few minutes ago I wished everyone a happy new year on a YouTube live chat and they zapped it. Maybe it was offensive to people who don't use the Christian calendar.

Some of the Wiccans of the tarot community do the winter solstice thingy.

Only you would have a script on how to respond to someone wishing you good tidings. It's probably written in VB.

I guess 0. Usually when I hear it I smile and whomever that person is is out of my life for a few days so...good.
