I believe this may be an old joke - but my ex told me it happened to him. Back in the 60s he had a Jewish employer who never worked on Jewish holy days.

Phone rang and the caller asked to speak to the boss. Husband said “Dan’s not here - this is Yom Kippur. Caller said ‘Well Mr. Kippur can you tell me if...........”

What federal holiday is coming up anyway? SuperBowl Sunday?

I propose that people who issue these proclamations work on December 25, the day whose name may not be spoken.

Great Zeus and Athena!

I'm an Agnostic and I favor "Merry Christmas." And, what's probably far worse, I continue to say and to write just that.

May Gaia have mercy on my sole soul (if any).

Merry Christmas!

I see your greeting and am reminded of the following from SF author Roger Zelazny (1937-95) [Creatures of Light and Darkness-1969] as the 'ultimate' non-denominational eulogy prayer.

Insofar as I may be heard by anything, which may or may not care what I say, I ask, if it matters, that you be forgiven for anything you may have done or failed to do which requires forgiveness. Conversely, if not forgiveness but something else may be required to insure any possible benefit for which you may be eligible after the destruction of your body, I ask that this, whatever it may be, be granted or withheld, as the case may be, in such a manner as to insure your receiving said benefit. I ask this in my capacity as your elected intermediary between yourself and that which may not be yourself, but which may have an interest in the matter of your receiving as much as it is possible for you to receive of this thing, and which may in some way be influenced by this ceremony. Amen.

I wonder if the 'Franking' office would pass this 'prayer'?

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 27“But I say to you truthfully, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”

Luke 9:26
