[QUOTE="upswife75, post: 1167671, member: 43413"] IMO, no you shouldn't be disciplined. As an atheist, I am not in any way offended by anyone saying Merry Christmas. At the same time, while working with the public, of which many people practice many different religions, I tend to say Happy Holidays unless I know what faith they follow. To me, it isn't doing away with Christmas, but is a way of equally respecting all the holidays that are being celebrated during those few weeks. Now, if someone comes into my job with gifts to be packaged and sent, and they have Christmas wrapping, I say Merry Christmas, if they have obvious Jewish wrapping paper, I tell them Happy Hanukkah. Pentacles on the paper, I tell them Happy Solstice, etc etc. [/QUOTE]
