Fla. woman claims 'Merry Christmas' got her fired

PENSACOLA, Fla. – A Christian woman claims she was fired from her job because she greeted callers with "Merry Christmas," but the vacation rental company says it's no Scrooge and the woman is just a disgruntled employee.

Tonia Thomas, 35, said she refused to say "Happy Holidays" and was fired, even after offering to use the company's non-holiday greeting. The Panama City woman filed a federal complaint that accuses the company of religious discrimination. She is seeking compensation for lost wages.

"I hold my core Christian values to a high standard and I absolutely refuse to give in on the basis of values. All I wanted was to be able to say 'Merry Christmas' or to acknowledge no holidays," she said Tuesday. "As a Christian, I don't recognize any other holidays."

...she also claims to have been beaten by another employee who carved on "O" on her face. :rofl: :sarcasm:

PLease, deer gawd, send us more of these republicans. They are just so amusing.

Oh, Florida.

Who would Jesus sue?

And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them. - Jesus Christ

Based on that, I'm guessing the answer to my question is "nobody".

Before this whole "war on Christmas" garbage, that's what I figured "Happy Holidays" stood for - Christmas and New Years.

But this whole story sounds made up.

Personally, I've never beieved any of them.

:D
