Happy Holidays Eve!

Sounds kinda dumb doesn't it. When I was a kid, everyone wished each other a Merry Christmas, just like the song says. Sometimes you'd hear "happy holidays" or "season's greetings" and they were not at all offensive. But I've found something different in today's society. As I went shopping a few days ago, not one store employee would wish me a Merry Christmas until I had said it first. They were all afraid of offending me, so they gave the generic "happy holidays" which actually is was offended me more. Why can't we speak what we believe without offending others? If I ran into a Jewish person who initially wishes me a happy Hanukkah, I have no reason to be offended. Just because I don't celebrate Hanukkah doesn't mean that I should be offended by kind words from someone who does. Shouldn't we all be allowed to bless one another according to our own beliefs and just accept the kindness?

So...MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!
