[BC] Merry Christmas!!!!

[Bill Harms]

I know this is not on topic, but I feel like I should say something.  
I am sick and tired of people being "offended" by others and their 
beliefs.  At work my cubicle mate who is a devout Shiite Muslim from 
Pakistan wished me a "Merry Christmas" on his way home on Thursday.  
I told him to have a Good Eid" and he told me how to say it in his 
language.  

It is always better to include everyone and not exclude anyone as 
long as no one is harmed.
