That would make no sense unless you were trying to make some point. Kinda like saying "have a nice day on April 22nd". No need to differentiate.
But it is much shorter just to say, "Merry Christmas."
"Have a nice Day" is only 12 letters, the other is 14.
If you were a Jew, why would I wish you a happy Ramadan?
Why would a non-Christian want to take offense at a simple wish from one person to another for merriment on a particular day?
I never claimed they would, but I'm sure some do. My point had nothing to do with the person hearing the greeting, only the one offering it.
"That would make no sense unless you were trying to make some point. Kinda like saying "have a nice day on April 22nd". No need to differentiate."
I'm not sure that, were I to wish another person to have a Merry Christmas, that I would be trying to "make some point" -- other than to wish the other person a degree of happiness on a day that is special to me.
I don't make it a habit to wish people happy April 22nd's (Unless, of course, they are, like me, from Nebraska.)
Isn't it rather sad that we've reached the point where the mere wishing of "Merry" on a particular day means, to some, that the person making such a wish is "trying to make some point"??
