I am not one to take offense at the mundane. A Holiday greeting, appropriately worded for the person in question, is not offensive to me. In fact, if you wish me a Happy Hanukkah, despite the fact that I am not following Judaism, I accept your wishes in good cheer.
I may not LIKE YOU (I try to like everyone and in most cases I succeed) ...or your faith...it is irrelevant. KINDNESS goes a long way. And I love my family, all of them... wife's adoptive family, as well as her bio-family and my own...
I had gathered than one member of family had been raised in the Jewish faith. Let me specify: Not my "Immediate" family, but an in-law, we shall say. Her sister was raised in the Christian faith (I am unsure of denomination, so I can't specify more).
Now, after a previous debate, I had determined that she was self-identified as Jewish. I figured I would include her in a Facebook post, with a greeting of "Happy Hanukkah."
OY VEY, That was a mistake. Is she ashamed of her upbringing? This is the US, 2016, not Germany of 1933, despite what you are picturing as an incoming administration.
Although I am grateful she told me that she prefers a Christmas greeting (If any), I am somewhat saddened by getting cuffed in such a manner.
Still, I honored her wishes and removed her from the greeting. I made a mistake assuming that she embraced Judaism, but we do occasionally step on toes. If I were perfect, I'd be G_d.
However, it will not stop me from sending Wishes for a joyful season to her, or anyone. I choose kindness.
To any and all: Merry Christmas, Blessed Yule, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa. If you don't like any of those, pick a generic. It's not my place to guess what you prefer. If you choose to take umbrage at my greeting, it is your choice. I choose to give you a greeting. I choose kindness. How you act is not going to dictate my life.
I am not Miss Manners. I am not Charles Manson. I am not Dear Abby. I am BLUNT, sometimes vicious. I am a force of nature. I am DOLDMAN (D. Old Man). Can you stand to view the world AS I SEE IT? Can you STAND TO HEAR THE TRUTH?
It's all about TRUTH.
IT'S ALL ABOUT TRUTH
Location is determined by position
Evidence will vary by location.Facts will change according to evidence.
But TRUTH is unchanging.

The lies are big...
I was positively FLOORED by the stupidity of something reported. Not the report, but that anyone could BELIEVE what was being said!
Some IDIOT who is with the ACLU... Blamed Christians for the mass shooting in the nightclub in Orlando. EXCUSE ME?!
There was no Christian firing an AR-15! There was no Christian firing a Glock and killing people at this club. There was no Christian walking into the bathrooms and gunning people down, point blank.

The man was a follow of Islam. Yes, and it has been reported BY THE POLICE that the man called 911 and declared his allegiance to ISIS.
I hope that my friends and family have at least some hold on reality. If they do not, I suggest they move to an Islamic country. Try being "gay" over there, openly. Watch how quickly you're picked up and executed.
The Satanists are winning. The Devil's deceptions are subtle and clever. He is working overtime. And we are not doing a thing to stop it.
This country is descending, quickly, into the jaws of Hell. The jaws will snap shut.
Walk unafraid, with head high -- your redemption is at hand.
