If I'm off it's just another off day and if I work it's just another work day, but most of time I work.
What kind of work do you do?

I guess my point is this, and it doesn't seem to apply to you, but for all the non-Christmas celebrators, if you take the day off work and get paid for it, you're participating in a pagan holiday. If these folks want to remain true to their convictions, they should go in to work and refuse the holiday pay, because it's a compromise of my convictions to accept money that's being given me so that I can stay home and participate in a pagan celebration!

yeah, I heard that rational before. I knew your questions were setup ones.
xmass is so ingrained in our culture, it's hard to get completely 100% away from it.
