Good morning all.
And because I grew up saying Merry Christmas and Happy New Year I’ll continue that tradition and wish all members and visitors on EO a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year.
And if this offends anyone - tough
Cheers

As an avowed atheist and someone who has taken part in numerous debates on the problems religion brings... I've never met anyone (reasonable) who has a problem with the idea of saying "Merry Christmas", Christian or not.
I understand the notion of looking to make the season inclusive for all, but, in our society (yes, I know, the concept was adapted by the Christians from the "pagan" celebrations) Christmas is derived from a Christian basis. No-one seriously cares, surely?
I've celebrated Diwali in India, but I'm not Hindu (mind you, the inhaling of coloured powders get's up my nose!)..
Hope everyone had a great day. Cheers,
Mark
