a job that will discard someone for saying merry christmas is not an environment that would be a good fit for me anyhow,,,making everyone comfortable is impossible and not the bottom line


Then wish me luck with my little social experiment as I'm working within a majorly Catholic corporation.

Should they get complaints about the pagan greetings, I may be visiting the EEOC.

May your candles burn throughout the long solstice night.




And if people get offended by your well wishes, then THEY have the problem.


Of course, if I have to be tolerant - don't they?

You don't have to tolerate it. That is your choice. I'm saying don't tell others how they should be.

What if a Pagan wishes me a Blessed Yule??? It's my choice to be offended or take it as a well wish. I won't tell others they shouldn't say it though

I know the OP is about a Christmas tree, but it seems some people in the world only want to target Christians. There are more holidays than Christmas.

Christians aren't the only ones buying gifts.

we all have to be tolerant of other peoples problems,,but we dont have to fashion our whole day around avoiding any and all POSSIBLE things that might offend someone

I love christmas, but I accept happy hannukah, or asalaama laikum just as easily(as obvious sentiments of well being, regardless of my personal faith)

there is a neat little store here called The Enchanted Forest. It is basically a Pagan store. The decorate every year for the Yule.

Should they have to remove the decorations or should I take responsibility and either stay out of the store if it offends me or protest or just let them celebrate as they wish?

I have control over myself.....I don't control others

lol not really sure. An old Pagan friend of mine would always say Blessed Yule. She used to combine it with Winter Solstice too.
