As a devout atheist, I'd prefer you say Happy Holidays.

Thanks, and God Bless.

And God Bless you too. Holiday is not a slam against Christmas but includes other holidays, (holy days), as well. So even if you really are an atheist I accept that greeting with good cheer.

I'll say Merry Christmas anyways. Shoot, Jesus' birthday wasn't actually on December 25th anyhow! I celebrate it as a day of togetherness and good cheer, that is all. Oh, and presents for the kiddos!

Just kidding, I'm a Catholic. We believe in the entire Christmas story, from the birth of Jesus to the 3 Wise Men bearing gifts. I doubt any of the 3 were Polish. None of the gifts were kielbasa.

I'll leave the wise alone.

I respect other religions and beliefs...being a Tibetan Buddhist I do not celebrate Christmas as other faiths do we do however celebrate a new year but.....not the same New Years or Losar to us Tibetan Buddhist...this year it is Feb 22
Tibetan New Year-Losar
In ancient times when the peach tree blossom, it was considered as the starting of a new year. Since the systematization of the Tibetan calendar in 1027 A.D., the first day of the first month became fixed as the new year or Losar. On the Tibetan New Year's Day, each home will open its door with prayers and fetch the first bucket of water of the year. People will greet each other with well-meaning wishes- "Tashi Deleg". Losar is a colorful week of activities including Tibetan drama, pilgrims making incense offerings and other folk activities such as wrestling, weight throwing, tug-of-war and horse-racing. Tibetans dressed in their finest crowding the streets. It brings together family from far & near for prayer and celebration.

No where in the bible does it say there were 3 wise men; It does however mention 3 gifts.

Wise men were most likely 'Kings' and they never traveled alone!!
