How do you react to religious greetings?

[Kathryn]

The same goes for the phrase "Happy Holidays". I wish people would stop acting with hostility towards that expression.

I could not agree more.

Even the word "holiday" means "Holy Day." I can't imagine why some fundamentalists feel threatened by this statement.

RE FREAKING DICULOUS!

I say "you too" unless it's my husband's family then I'll say "Merry Christmas" back to them. My interaction with family is different than with strangers.

 

[Klerkie]

I usually smile and say thank you, and sometimes wish them the same thing in return. You see, I don't necessarily find it offensive; they aren't trying to hurt anyone with their words, so it's not much of dealing with anything.

 

[Revoltingest]

I respond thus.....
"And you too! Happy Festivus!"
Works like a charm.

 

[Iti oj]

"Thank you" often works.

I would add in and you too. Possibly.mentioning other holidays
