Thank you for coming by – and so quick, too! lol I’m both freaked out and thrilled. The voices don’t upset me. We heard enough of those in Gettysburg to reduce the shock of it now. :-) However, that black mass and that face on the stairs… well, they still has me feeling out of sorts. But, as I said, we didn’t feel threatened there – never have – so I don’t believe it was something bad or evil. Yeah. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it… ;-) Hi Christine!

What I love is that you understood his intent to be helpful. Someone else might have taken offense. I think we have to stick with what is in our hearts and hope more people will see that for what it is - because more often than not, it's something good. :-) Amazing story, Tuere.

I'm with you, Debbie. In my line of work, I wish everyone a Happy Holiday. But if I know they celebrate X-Mas or any other holiday, it brings me more pleasure to personalize the greeting. Generically, the "Holiday" wish is probably best. People who intend to cause harm in any kind of way are going to do it regardless of the occasion, unfortunately. A funny story. My father was a postal service man and told me to always ask for the African-American history stamps because they will stop making them if ppl don't order them. So, as a rule, I buy them when I need stamps and around the holidays, I went into my local PO and asked for them. The guy goes in the back and he's out of them, but he brings me Kwanzaa stamps and offers them. So, for about 60 elongated seconds, I stare at them on the counter while he's busy awaiting my reply. And I'm thinking, "But I don't celebrate it..." I shake my head and tell him 'nah'. And he scrambles with embarrassment because he thinks he's offended me, offering up how he thought I might blah, blah, blah. So, I just laughed and reassured him that he didn't offend in any way. I actually felt bad because HE felt bad. Ah well :) Ahhh, the proverbial road to hell being paved with lovely intentions. I’m with you, Debbie. In my line of work, I wish everyone a Happy Holiday.

I wish I could reach them on an emotional level, and let them know that THAT is not the intent from most but rather what you and Julie said - people are simply wishing us the best". Happy Holidays to you, Donna!! I’ve spoken with people who are thoroughly saddened by wishes of “Happy Holidays” because they feel it’s said purposely to insult them or minimize their core beliefs.

Happy Holidays to you, Donna!!
