All the gripes about not using the word Christmas - enough already. So those who complain don’t accept the good wishes for the holidays? It is a bad thing to wish someone happiness or the best for the holidays? Is it truly so bad to wish everyone happiness, regardless of their belief system. Do I really have to list all the possible combinations of Holidays to make sure any individual belief is not offended or left out? The real “Political Correctness” flaw is the perception some have that their particularl belief must be catered to specifically. “I’m a Christian, so you had better wish me a Merry CHRISTmas”. And if you don’t wish me a Merry Christmas, it is a WAR on Christmas. It is not sufficient to wish me and my family the best for the holidays, it only counts if you cater to my personal belief system and use my “label” in the greeting.
Get over yourselves. You may give, and I shall except your greetings, however you would like to personally give them. Even if I am not Christian, I can except your wishes as warm and well-intentioned. And I would never be so rude as to correct you and say, “ummm, I’m not a Christian, could you please wish me a Happy Hanukkah, etc. But, similarly, if someone gives you a wish, they are the author, it need not be the way YOU would offer the greeting or wish. So could everyone stop being ridiculous and so “offended” because the person who gives a greeting expresses it based on THEIR belief system or sensitivities.
Happy Holidays Everyone! I truly wish all of you, your families and friends the very best the season has to offer.
