Happy Holiday or Merry Christmas
Was chatting with APA this morning and had a flashback to last year. Sitting at home in Columbus sending friends text messages on Christmas Day saying "Happy Holidays." It was December 25 and I was saying Happy Holiday. Last year, it seemed perfectly normal and okay, but I'm not doing it this year. On December 25 I am saying Merry Christmas. Plain and simple.
So the thought is --- how did it come to this? Liberal D-bags. Political correctness.
Let it stop.
On December 25, I think it is perfectly acceptable to say Merry Christmas to any and everyone. Yes the Christ thing is controversial, but it is a national holiday. We get the day off with pay, so . . . Merry Christmas. Just as I said Happy Hanukkah last Friday and just as I would say Happy Kwanza to someone if I knew someone who celebrated that holiday.
Admittedly, I will not say Merry Christmas to clients. I am rebellious, not stupid. It is just something you shouldn't do, just like you shouldn't say "peace-out" or "bye" to a client, you just don't. However, I will say "Have a Happy Holiday Season". Not have a good holiday --- the scardy-cat's euphemism for Christmas, but Holiday Season. My logic is that I sneak New Year's Day in there – as a subtle rebellion. I don't do it to be politically correct – I do it to be actually correct. Besides that, if I am emailing clients ON December 25, I'll flail myself off of a cliff. So on December 25, expect to get a text (or BBM) from me that says Merry Christmas (except Joe and Stephanie --- it will say Happy Birthday too!!!!). Even to my Jewish friends. To my Jewish friends, it is not to be disrespectful; it is just to let you know that I am remembering you on a day that I traditionally remember friends and family. And why am I remembering my friends and family? Well, because it is Christmas ---not Labor Day or any other holiday.
And to all your religion haters --- let us Christians have our day. You get your 364 days a year. Wait…. I'm sorry, let us have Easter too --- 363!
