Merry Christmas. I mean that sincerely.
I think it's perfectly ok that people say Happy Holidays. But I think it's sad that people are now afraid to say Merry Christmas for fear of being exclusionary.
Was Kramer right? Do we, in fact, need a Festivus? For the rest of us?
When someone says to me "Happy Holidays", all I want to say is ,"have a great Chrismakwaanzukkah"
Ever wonder if people in the Southern Hemisphere complain that all these holidays that are based on lights because it's so dark in the north have to suffer through songs like "Let It Snow" when it's smack in the middle of the summer?
So, if you're not a Christian (I'm not), instead of taking offense when someone wishes you a Merry Christmas, instead, smile and wish them a happy whatever you are celebrating. Or, just say "thank you. You too"
Happy Festivus everyone. Enjoy the snow. Or the sun. Or whatever you have going on.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

DeleteSomeone should wish Jay Cutler a Merry Christmas.
I think, simply, "Merry Christmas." We are taught at a very young age that it's the thought that counts and those simple words go beyond religion, wealth, language and borders. My thinking is lets ignore those who try and make more and read something sinister into those very simple words. "Merry Christmas" to my online friends, their families and the rest of humanity who can laugh and smile.
