Christmas
Doug:
I am in sales and get customer's wishing me a Merry Christmas. Usually I just say something to the effect that hope they enjoy their holiday's. Just not sure what is an appropriate response, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Porter:
How bout good old "bah humbug"? ;D Just kidding, what works for me may not work for you, but being the Scrooge that I'am I probably wouldn't be working in sales like you. Sorry if I wasn't any help. Good question otherwise!
John from Kentucky:
Just tell them Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Jesus' Spirit has set us free. No rules.

Hi John and Doug,
Reasonable guide to follow during the Christ-mass season.
Here also is a little advice from apostle Paul regarding how he dealt with differing situations.
Co 9:19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
1Co 9:20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
1Co 9:21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
1Co 9:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
1Co 9:23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

Our Lord knows our heart and a simple kindness to another person who is not being called at this time is not offensive to God.
Everyone will appreciate your kind intentions and few if any will offer to exchange gifts with you. (smile)

Agree - Christman is what you make of it. I do not place any spiritual significantes on Christmas.
If this is your attitude then making anything else out of Christmas is superstitious, IMO.
