It really annoys me that during the holiday season it seems I am expected to "Merry Christmas" everyone I encounter. Now, I have observed I am obligated to also issue "Happy Thanksgivings" hither and yon. Where does it end? Should there be "Happy Birthdays" to everyone in the world? I reject this. You don't have to "enjoy the holiday" or even acknowledge it at all. Your disposition on the matter is certainly not influenced by any of my wishes on your behalf. So do whatever you want. Be ecstatic or ordinary, it makes no difference to me; I'm happy if you're happy.
Thank you and have a day.
