I work every year doing telephone order entry and answer calls from all over the nation. We are supposed to say, "Happy Holidays," but many make a point to subvert this by pointedly answering or wishing "Merry Christmas." And they do it in a way that makes it plain they don't much like the PCness of Happy Holidays. How do you deal with a clerk, salesman or someone taking orders who use the PC when you want it like you feel it or believe it? Just curious. I have to go get back on the phones, but I would find it interesting to check out the group think here on this. Happy Holidays folks. ;-)

I say "It is merry CHRISTmas, CHRISTmas, cause there aint no guy called holiday that ever went up on a cross for you and me. Then I cancel my order.
Love to hear that exchange :-)
LL Bean used it as part of their training tapes a few years back. The next year they started having a Merry Christmas catalogue. I walked out of a local restuant a year ago when the greeter said "Happy holidays come this way please." I said, "no thanks, it is CHRISTmas and if you're not smart enough to know that, your cook aint smart enough to feed me." And we, four of us, left. I do the same thing at Easter.
Ah, good for you ! You make Jesus Soooooooooo HAPPY when you get all bitchy and haughty with sales clerks and hostesses about how holy you are ! I bet every one of those clerks quit their jobs right away and ran off to the nearest church to become a "Perfect ChristianTM" like you, since you set such a fine example !
What does the f stand for in your alias?
I don't know exactly. I've posted a few times before about why I chose this screen name for LP, where you and I have replied to each other a few times. I copied this screen name from the old "f.christian" of FreeRepublic. What the "f" stands for, I have no idea.
What the "f" stands for, I have no idea My next screen name is going to be Oliver Cromwell !
Ahhhh ... I should have thought more about the "f." in "f.christain" I get it now.
Originally it was FletcherC. ... after the elian fallout --- I reformed it to f.Cristian ! Then came the evo wars ! efdot was the oppostion nickname !
