Merry Christmas

[NomadicSky]

I've worked in retail of some form for the last five years.

Four almost five years working at Sears in the hardware department.

And since July a WalMart store here in town.

WalMart is better I work overnight 10pm-7am and get 40 hours a week and they pay me more.

The WalMart store I work at has a manager who turns off the Christmas music and plays a local classic rock station at night.

Which is great.

Still one thing that remains the same are the vast amount of people who get offended when I tell them to "have a good day".

They look at me shocked and tell me "merry Christmas" so as the holiday gets closer I switch to "happy holidays" people still tell me to say Merry Christmas.

I'm not a Christian I don't celebrate that holiday.

Yes I see my family on that day and I do buy them things, I think of it as Yule.
Yule was a Germanic Pagan holiday that evolved from the Celtic Geul into much of our Christmas celebrations.

Yule was a day in which still green trees would be brought into homes from the outside usually a fir or spruce tree along with other things like holly branches and hanging mistletoe for the same reasons along with my favorite a Yule Log. It was a day of gift giving, a warm meal, and general merryment.

Most of these things I had as a child (there was no hanging mistletoe in my Mormon childhood home)

And it is a fun day, but I do not and will not wish anyone to have a Merry Christmas.

For I do not celebrate that holiday.

I just hope you enjoy the day and enjoy your whatever you do on that day.

Christmas is a great time for family stuff

however I feel it has turned into a capitalist fueling mechanism of semi useless gifts

Well for one I do make more than friends I have who work in fast food I don't think I'm better than them for it, we all have to work somewhere.

A job is a job and someone has to do it or it doesn't get done.

Am I some how inferior to you because I work a more deeming job? Is it the fact that I don't worship your god and celebrate the birth of a savior I personally feel does not exist?

Is it wrong that I celebrate a similar holiday by a different name?

What is your "true" religion?

Because I really doubt you are a christian, if you are then it's only for a few hours on sunday and you live your life however you please the rest of the time which doesn't make you part of it at all.
