I know there are two other threads going that address the topic of pretended holy days, but I'm so annoyed with people wishing me "Happy Easter", that I wanted to post a separate thread to see if others share that annoyance. Not only outside of church, but believers in my congregation are 'wishing' me happiness on this day.
Reading the 'Good Friday' thread I feel convicted that I have respond with 'same to you', or 'Happy Easter' in kind. However, it really does annoy me. In December when someone wishes me a Merry Christmas I frequently respond, "Bah humbug !" Assuming they know Dickens' A Christmas Carol they'll get it. Otherwise they probably think I'm daft. Anyhow .. when someone wishes you a Happy Easter do you humor them or correct them ?
