So, I'm in the breakroom today and a co-worker says to me, that it's a shame that we get more time off at Thanksgiving than xmas. We should be celebrating "the birth". She asked me if I agreed. I said that I didn't share her feelings on that and to have a nice Thanksgiving.

@ Dr. Cowboy - Ohhhhh I so wanted to go there, but I was at work so I had to remain cool. I like xmas trees and presents too. For me that day is just a gift exchange for family, friends, and another reason to eat!
Comment by Dr. Cowboy on November 24, 2011 at 11:28pm You're so much nicer than me, I probably would have reminded her that had Jesus actually existed he almost certainly wasn't born on Dec 25th and that Christmas is actually a pagan festival (Yule) that was usurped by the Catholic Church centuries ago in an effort to facilitate the conversion of pagans to Christianity, but that's just me ;) I like Xmas trees and presents anyway.
@zeeman barzell - HA! You can have my share of green bean casserole...yuck! But please pass the cranberry sauce! :)
@Prog Rock Girl - I agree, so annoying ugh! Usually I bite my tongue, but today I was feelin' kinda spicy.
Comment by Prog Rock Girl on November 23, 2011 at 7:43pm I was always annoyed at the assumption that everyone in the workplace is Christian too. They're the only ones who can take it for granted that way.
Usually I need a whole 4 days to worship green bean casserole....mmmmm
Thanks! It really was awkward, but I am actually glad that it happened.
