“If she got on me about “Merry Christmas” I would go out of my way to mention the “Merry Christmas” party to her every chance I got. I would ride her on it so hard she would leave, or shut up.”
That would make club meetings rather like attending a family function where the family is having a family argument. Very unpleasant. Believe me, this woman would get irate and, quite simply, the rest of the members would leave the club. We decided it wasn’t worth the potential impact so everybody lives with it. You have to pick your battles and we agreed this one wasn’t worth it. So, a little bit of tradition dies, I know. We’re all the poorer for it.
Frankly, I grew up in a family that fought 24/7. I hated every minute of it. I simply can’t engage at her level as I have to watch my blood pressure.
You see you take her too seriously.
I would consider it great fun to harass her.
