Good morning Paul. I don't mean to be a hard ass, but here in this country we celebrate Christmas because it is part of our culture. If they don't like it and they are offended, then they need to go someplace else.

The majority of our clients are from other countries, many of which do not celebrate christmas. I am sincerely interested in what and how they do celebrate their holidays.
Whatever they celebrate it is always more about religion and family.
In the US Christmas is mostly about spending money to spoil the kids.

I have never had anyone even hint at this. I think this is just a part of the phony war on Christmas part of the media spreads.

No, not to my knowledge. Even the ones that 'claim' to be Atheist participate in Christmas.

Offended....NO!
Worn out....YES!
Imposed upon....YES!
And do they have tears at the annual cantata when they hear 'what child is this?"....you bet!
For many the reason has not been forgotten.
Do they deep inside feel grieved that a remembrance of a time so important has been profaned by the majority? Yes, they may be offended.

The wife of someone with whom I was associates with was a Jehovah's Witness and took exception even being in the room when Christmas was discussed. I felt so sad for her little girl. But I know there is freedom of religion in the US so I honor their wishes.

I'm offended by Christmas every year. I hate how everyone acts, everyone thinks about the gift aspect of it only. Should make it mandatory that you do 12 good deeds a year (one a month) thruout the year instead of being charitable based on one day of the year.

Not that I know of. I try to send appropriate cards to my Jewish clients if I know they are Jewish. But honestly I would rather Celebrate Christmas and loose a client than keep silent.

Paul,
I don't know why the heck anyone should be offended by Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or whatever anyone wants to celebrate. It is all good, it is all fun to learn about and to enjoy all the differsity that what made our country great. A

I was showing houses today and they were all decorated and had wrapped presents stacked up and the buyer made a negative comment but I didn't pursue what she meant by it.

None that I am aware of. All the hype is not among my Clients, which are from varied ethnic groups.

Only by the fact that stores and malls start decorating before Valentines Day (ok, maybe it isn't that bad... YET!). That and how afraid people are of offending someone so they don't say Merry Christmas.

Probably. We have a very diverse population in the DC area.
Some need time for cultural adjustments.

Paul, Christmas has become more of a secular than religious holiday for many. And I don't have any clients named Ebonezer.

Have not heard any complaints, except maybe back in September, when Christmas decorations started showing up...
3,986,258
None taht I know of... I also soften any issues if anyone says they don't celebrate Christmas I ask about what they do celebrate and let them talk about it...even if I am not interested.
4,800,082
I personally don't celebrate Christmas, but am not offended by it. I haven't run into any of my clients that are offended either. What annoys me are the folks who complain about the non-existent war on Christmas that doesn't exist.

No; I think most people appreciate the goodwill and well wishes in a gracious manner. If they don't then Tough Shit on them!
1,052,211
Nope, and I am proud that the great majority of our clientele are too real to be offended by much (except people texting who don't move when the light turns green). An extremely merry, blessed Christmas to you and yours!

Paul,
Some may chose not to participate but I would hope they aren’t offended. Christmas in this country can mean anything from a deeply religious time to just a holiday season.
1,543,823
None have been verbal if they are. I celebrate it and it's my December greeting to ALL "Merry Christmas". What is offensive, other than the consumerism, anyhow?
3,416,038
Not at all, one of my clients thanks me for wishing them a MErry Christmas yesterday instead of that offensive Happy Holidays the PC crowd forces on you.
