>I would also like to ask what would be a proper response from an agnostic to someone who wishes me merry Christmas, while we're in the "does not apply" department. If I wished the same back, does it have any validity, coming from an unbeliever? Because I only wish them to have good time and be happy for their holidays. Also, what would be a polite way to thank for good wishes, however misguided they were, knocking on wrong door? I usually manage a slightly confused smile and a few not-fully-articulated words, because I really don't know what to say, and I don't want to offend you. Just like I wish not to be offended. So... what's proper?
This is an issue for me as well, since I don't celebrate Christmas. First, I try to take it in the spirit it was offered. A simple "thank you" will do in some cases. In others, "happy holidays to you, too" works.
