Ok, so I know I may offend someone so Ill try really hard to be politically correct. I was at my daughters soccer practice and a mom sat down next to me. I was sketching some Halloween designs and she peeked over my shoulder and asked what I was doing. I explained the whole thing... how I sell my art to manufacturers for flags, scrapbook paper, etc. And then, of course, (because I never know when to shut my mouth) I rolled my eyes and said I have to do christmas next and I hate christmas. Notice that I'm spelling with a lower case c... Well, I was thinking in lower case too, but she heard 'I hate Christmas' not I hate putting red and green on the same piece of paper, I'm tired of drawing Santa, snowmen, elves and holly. She practically ran away from me and now shes not speaking to me. I later found out that shes a fundamentalist Christian and I had totally offended her. Now I sit at practice and think I should try to explain myself and 'get her back' but then I think, why... I have plenty of friends who know what I mean when I say I hate christmas! Is she over sensitive, she doesn't even know me, how could she not like me!!!! Back and forth I go,
I'm letting it go now...she has a right to her opinion and I DON'T need everyone to like me!
