Does Your T Acknowledge Holidays?

My T wished me a merry Christmas today! We have never really acknowledged holidays. Holidays are hard for me, but I don't really talk about it because I'm used to it. It was so nice for her to acknowledge it today.

I shot my T a quick email ,wishing him a Merry Christmas,just to see if he would respond with the same,and nope,he didn't.He did respond to the email but there was no holiday greeting.

I guess he just doesn't do that sort of thing,although I wish he would.

Last time I saw her, at the end of the session, she told me "have happy holidays" and "rest" something like that. I think she didn't wish me a merry christmas because in that session I told her about my interest in buddhism and that I was reading books about this topic, so maybe she thought I wasn't christian (and it's true).

No, my T never sent me any sort of greeting related to holidays. She doesn't even wish me a happy birthday. It kinda feels bad and I admit that it would light my day up to see a Christmas greeting from her today, but at the same time I do respect her boundaries and she probably has her reasons not to send one. Also, I would never send her any greeting unless she sends one first (which is unlikely).

I had my last pre-holiday session last Thursday and I was a bit afraid that T would wish me Merry Christmas. Fortunately he didn't and so I was relieved from to burden to say it to him. I just don't feel like saying such things to my T. Last times when he has wished me Merry Christmas I haven't responded. Nor have I ever wished him a nice weekend or nice holiday, I don't think I've even ever thanked him. Most of the times I don't even say 'Hi' and I say 'Bye' only on good days.

So, no holiday acknowledgements to me by default, please.
