As a non-Christian, I choose to say "Happy Holidays" in hopes it will cover all the bases for the person I'm addressing. It is a season of holidays and I'm hoping the range of dates finds them happy and healthy.
That said, I will not take offense when asked to have a "Merry Christmas" (or "Happy Hanukkah" rare as that may be.) Genuine wishes of good will are to be cherished in this "shoot first and who cares about the questions" world.
There. Lather, rinse, repeat.

In other news, R and I were out for a walk yesterday. A car was about to pass us and a fellow in the back seat stuck his head out the window, yelled something in French(*) and threw two of these at us:
How bizarre is that? I've had things tossed at me over the years, but this was a first. R and I think the chaps had stolen them from the Tim Hortons (btw for American viewers, Tim Hortons is best thought of as a down-market Starbucks) and he was tossing the about for a laugh.
(*) I'm not sure what he was saying - I'm yet to take a class in "Yelled French". On reflection, one of the things he may have bellowed sounded like "dee doll-ar" (Ten dollars)

Finally, just prior to Christmas I purchased an ASUS Eee PC. Black one. Sweet. It arrived at 9:30am on Dec 24th - how convenient and I've been tinkering with it since. More on this later.
