I was a bit disgusted when my friend was telling me about her sister's family, who are Jehovah's Witnesses. Mind you, I have no problem with any beliefs usually, but I sure did when I found out that not only do they not celebrate Christmas, but they don't even celebrate birthdays -- according to them, they're pagan rituals (okay, somewhat maybe, but still!). Not for nothin', but I cannot imagine being a kid growing up like that... but apparently the kids don't mind, even tho they USED TO celebrate those things before the parents converted.

In any event - I usually say "Happy Holidays" if I don't know the person's stance. Except last year when I purposely sent Plaw a Christmas card after his rant that DC posted
