The thing that I do not understand is that wishing anyone a happy whatever is usually done with only good intentions.
Well, you know what they say about what the road to hell is paved with...

I guess I'm going straight to hell, then... Oh well, it's okay. I'm ready.

It amazes and saddens me the number of people in this thread mocking this young woman's religious beliefs. The United States keeps talking about how it is "open minded" and "tolerant," yet let someone have a deeply held religious beliefs, especially Christian, and they will be mocked and vilified. The officials absolutely knew that the reason she didn't want the number was because of Christian religious beliefs. They just didn't care because it is perfectly acceptable to be intolerant of Christians.
Christians are the only majority on the planet that manages to constantly assert that they are being persecuted.

LTH, I don't agree with you often, but I'll drink a beer with you to that.
Running is dumb.
Haven't you heard there's a "War on Christmas" going on? It is at risk of being completely obliterated!

I think it is taking refuge in Costco. It's like Christmas threw up in there.
This is like saying Happy Birthday to other people because it's your birthday. I'm not sure that's being inclusive or just confusing the hell out of people.
So far I vote Oski is winning the thread.

Marathon Jesus DNF'd for my sins because he wasn't wearing a fuel belt.
You people have issues
Don't exclude people. Holiday threw up in Costco, unless you mean baby Jesus threw up in isle seven.
No, I'm pretty sure it was just Christmas that threw up. Kwanza and Hanukah just burped a little on the bottom of one display rack.
I'll be here all week.
