AH YES ! FOUND IT! It was in the Crawl Space above the Studio ! Thanks
The Great Thing about America is that we can each choose how to celebrate, or even whether to celebrate or not !
Please keep that in mind. We all have traditions and things we like at Christmas, and it is really no one else's concern. I do not see why people get so bent out of shape at the CHRIST-MASS celebration. It is ultimately a personal choice, and not for someone else to say that we can or cannot celebrate it.
Well I hate to be rude when someone says Mary-Kris-Mass to me.
But they act like I am when I tell them I don't celebrate Kris-Mass.
No reason to be mad. I've had JWs and SDAs tell me they don't celebrate Christmas. I take it for what it is--they want people to know they don't celebrate Christmas.
If it's really not just about drawing attention to yourself by making such an announcement, then say politely, "I don't celebrate it, but I hope you have a nice holiday."
I worked for Orthodox Jews. I didn't celebrate their holidays, but I learned to say Chag Sameach. Now I work for Muslims, who celebrated Eid last week, and I wished them a good holiday, too.
It all depends upon whether what you say is about you or them.
When they say Mary-Kris-Mass to me is it not about them?
I don't care what people do on their celebrations. Don't include me.
I don't have to pretend I'm gay about it for them either. That would be lying to their face.
I view their celebrations as falsehoods. So I've no well wishing for them in their falsehoods.

- Stop saying Mary-Kris-Mass to strangers in public. It's rude.
Keep it for those whom you know feel the same as you.
I went to a busy buffet restaurant last December I noticed a busy tired waitress.
One person as they were leaving said, Mary-Kris-Mass to the waitress as they passed her, she said thanks, and a guy right that person put his hand on the waitresses arm pulling her closer to him and said, Happy Hanukkah! And the waitress said, Oh okay thanks. How stupid and inconsiderate! How Merry & Happy do you think that waitress was for her self or them?

Oh, OK. I thought you said you were Christian. My bad.
- I am a follower of Christ.
- I am not a follower of christians.
I don't like the term 'christian' for myself because it means being of Protestant & Catholic doctrines.
I am a true non-denominationalist. Which also means being non-trinitarian.
I don't wear a cross anymore either.
Some of Jesus disciples did adapt to the sign of a fish....but Jesus didn't tell them to.
- Jesus' Disciples did not celebrate Jesus' birth.
- They broke unleavened Bread as His body and
drank Wine the crushed fruit of the Vine as His blood in remembrance of Him.
Which He did tell them to do.
- Although, neither Kris-Mass nor Trinitarianism is a salvation for me of others.
When they say Jesus is their Savior, I believe them.
But I do not worship God with them in the doctrines they believe of Him.
