I'm in retail sales and last year, only about 1/3 the folks I said Merry Christmas too, returned the wish. Easily 2/3's looked at me and mumbled "Have a nice holiday".
Yes, I was going to start a thread when I got up in the morning, but since you all have already got one going, I would like to tell each of you that I hope you have a safe, healthy, Merry Christmas, holiday season and new year.
