Oh, Gargoyle, I agree.

I try never to profane anyone's religion. I sincerely wish all Christians a deeply meaningful and sacred Christmas, and I accept all wishes to me for a "Merry Christmas" as easily as I accept a hug (And I take hugs like I take my chocolate -- you can never have too much ;-)).

Just because I celebrate my winter holiday at the same time as Christmas doesn't mean that I intend to denigrate Christmas at all... After all, there are occassions when Chanukah and Christmas overlap (rare, but I remember it happening a few times), without there being the sense that one holiday is trying replace another. I don't see why there should be the fear that Yule is.
