Why does the Catholic League think I hate Christmas?

After all, I celebrate it. Tibetan-Buddhist style.

I celebrate the "Peace On Earth, Good Will Toward Men" part. The Beatitude part. The Golden Rule part. The actual words of actual Jesus part.

I don't celebrate other parts of Christmas. Not the Torquemada part. Not the conversion by the sword part. Not the Albigensian Massacre part. Not the witch-burning part.

And I'm not so thrilled when people wish me, "Merry Christmas," frankly. I always wish them "Merry Christmas," back, but I wish they'd ask before assuming I'm the same religion as they are. I don't go around wishing Catholics "Happy Hannukah," or wishing Presbyterians "Happy Ramadan," or wishing Muslims "Happy Buddha's Birthday." I think it's good manners to check, is it not?
