Er, Miss Manners answered the question I submitted:

"DEAR MISS MANNERS -- At this time of year, I try to be respectful of the diversity of the people I may meet by wishing them "happy holidays." I like to think this neither assumes what they may celebrate nor imposes upon them what I may celebrate, but still manages to convey my good wishes toward

Well, since it is not yet winter... Happy Autumn, Alan!

I would ask myself "What would Dwight Schrute say?". The answer then becomes clear:

"May you have an uneventful December".

Boomshanka. :P

I'm sooooo jealous!!!! I will kiss either your hem or your pen!

I know! Equally surprising was it took her 2 years to answer it. I guess because it's a seasonal question.

We have to answer the phone, "Seasons Greetings" and say that as people leave. We started on the 20th -.-

Yech. I don't like that at all.

From Mr Manners (aka me)
A gleeful FUCK YOU should suffice in all things holiday related.

[esprix]

Ah, but manners and civility are most important in this day and age, moreso than most people imagine. So, to you, I wish you a festive winter and happy holiday, no matter what you may celebrate. :P

I do so enjoy manners. and i am usually quite forward with. however i get very angry with people that insist on shit like NO YOU CANNOT WISH ME A HAPPY ANYTHING so to them i give the ever festive "Fuck you" or "Fuck off" Or "Lick my genital slit" or "French Kiss My Cloaca" if they desire rudeness than it is only good manners to give it to them.

Actually, it's good manners to give them good manners back, regardless. Rise above, m'dear.
