Yesterday at work, a couple of the admins were futzing over a toy Santa that sings Christmas songs. They were having a good laugh over it and I did not pay it much mind. But as I walked past them, I was filled with a sense of annoyance. It is weird to me that we just accept the fact that there is a religious holiday that is celebrated for weeks, openly, and without any sense that not everybody believes in it. It is a blind spot, I suspect most do not even think about, and that is fine. Being a religious minority is something I am well accustomed to being, but when you hear people whining that they cannot properly "celebrate" I just want to tell them to kindly shut the fuck up.
