    After considerable thought, I have decided to take offense at your "Merry Christmas" greeting. I feel that by wishing me a Merry Christmas you are falling back on outdated, elitist, patriarchal, ableist, heteronormal, white-privileged and cis-privileged habits of thought and communication.

    In future, I would appreciate it if you would amend your greeting to "Happy Holidays."

    And, you are probably one of those people who think Santa Claus is white.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    A very Merry Christmas to all those observing.
