| To someone and not get a response back? |

| I have received a text like that and not responded. I thought the point of texts like that is that a person can respond or not in their own time. |

| Who didn’t respond, OP? Relationship to you/how long since you’ve seen them in person/how far away do they live? What is it about this particular person that makes you feel slighted? |

| Maybe they were out of the country and not receiving texts immediately. Maybe they felt you should have called instead of texted. Maybe they aren't even Christian. |

The holidays are very hard for a lot of people.
Why are you so offended about a non response to a text that took you 13 seconds to write? |

I was enjoying the day with my family and did not feel the need to respond to two co-workers and two totally random people we knew from a daycare we’re no longer a part of. We were with family and called family who couldn’t be with us.
I also ignored the incessant, nonstop group text from old college friends. Great that they love to text all day, but I was relaxing at home with loved ones. I’ll pick back up on that nonstop text chain after break is over. I’m on break. |

| Must’ve heartbreaking after you made such a bug emotional investment. |

| It’s weird that you are using what is allegedly a holiday greeting or wish as a measuring stick or a bean to count. Like, either you wish them a Merry Christmas, or you don’t. |

+1 - Christmas and a few other choice holidays are days when I close the ranks and don't check email, social media, texts, etc. |

| Yes, but I don't care that much. |

| Yet, again, this shows how people’s mental state is impacted by devices. |

| I don't think people necessarily expect a text back from that. The younger people I know from work do it almost like a 21st century Christmas card. |

| I have done it and not received a text back until the next holiday. I totally understood. I am middle age and I just assume either a parent or inlaw is having issues, or the kids are overwhelming or something is going on at work and that is usually the case. When life was easier though I obsessed more about these things. Now I spend so much time in survival mode myself, I hardly have time to give it a second thought. |
