Working Hard, Questions Inside

Mike made it back home safe, not bad for a man who has never flew before. I find that amazing since I’ve been flying by myself since I was 12. I’ve been on airplanes often in my life, not aas much as some, but enough. I can sleep perfectly through a flight, and wake right before decending. The taking off is the worse part for me, as well as landing.

I get to work all day today. I’m not looking forward to it, but in a way I am. Work was real good yesterday, and I must have a refreshed attitude after my mini-cation, because I raked in the tips, including a 50% tip of 15 dollars on a 30 tab. That lady was so sweet too. I can’t help telling people Merry Christmas at my tables. But it’s almost taboo to do, because they only let you say Happy Holidays. It pisses people off I think. What do you think? Is it offensive to hear Merry Christmas around Christmas time, if your a different religion than Christian (yes this includes "non religions"such as pagan and athiest)? I just feel Christmas time is a time for family and joy, and just one fucking month in the year that people are NICE to each other. So as a server, is it okay saying Merry Christmas? Would you be offended? This is not retrochical either, I want responses…

I wouldn’t be offended if someone told me Merry Christmas. In fact, I would like it because as you said, it is the one time out of the entire year when people are nice to each other.

I think it’s ok to say Merry Christmas. I think if people are greatly offended by this, they need to get lives.

I think it is nice when people say Merry Christmas to me, and I grew up without any specific religion. If I am with friends whom I know specifically to be Jewish I will say Happy Hanukkah. I think people get too obsessed with the whole politcally correct thing. Instead of thinking “How rude!” when someone wishes you a Merry Christmas, why not focus on the fact that they were taking the time tooffer you good wishes, whatever your faith. That’s my take on it anyhow 🙂

Walmart, after last year only allowing employees to say happy holidays, has once again changed their policy because many people boycotted them for not allowing an employee to say Merry Christmas.
