Happy Holidays!!!


That's right, I said Happy Holidays....

And do not even think about giving me any shit about it...

What is the big deal????

Yes it is Christmas...

And to my Christian friends who celebrate Christmas, I say Merry Christmas. (Although, shouldn't it be Blessed Christmas if you really want to get all righteous about it???)

But there are other holidays as well this holiday season.

Hanukkah, Kwanza, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day....

To name a few...

And I have friends who celebrate all of them.

Well some of them celebrate some of them and some of them celebrate others of them, but you know what I mean...

And we do not all have to be Christian, do we? (Okay, forget I asked that - I do not want a lecture.)

Let's just say I am okay with you if you are not Christian...

Who says my God has to be your God?? (Again, that is rhetorical, people...no lectures will be acknowledged.)

Just so you are not killing people in the name of your God or some such nonsense.

So to all of you....

No matter what you are celebrating this season....

Happy Holidays!!!!

For your sake, I sincerely hope Glenn Beck doesn't read this post. He'll never leave you alone. And Happy Holidays to you, too!

S'funny!
People started saying "Happy Holidays" so that those who don't celebrate Christmas didn't get defensive, now people, (like yourself,) are concerned about saying "Happy Holidays" will make Christians defensive!

How does one give good wishes of the Holiday Season without offending?

(Oh yeah, Jehova's Witnesses do not celebrate any holidays.) Have a good Mid-Winter!

Ed, Bring him on...I'll just reject his comments...

Thanks, Me Me. And to you and yours...

C: I was just kind of responding to some of my facebook friends posting the "I'm saying Merry Christmas, not happy holidays ...."
Too much PC and righteousness out there...I say whatever is on the tip of my tongue...As for JW's, good point...Happy Day?

Rejected comments not worthy of rejection:

From C:
Well, I'm a "Merry Christmas" kind of guy.
Someone says anything about it, I offer up the choice; "Have a shitty one if you prefer."

From gayle:
Have a wonderful day and a Very Merry Christmas, Happy New Year etc. etc.

From Ed Adams:
Merry Christmas to you and G-man!

Sorry guys - I was up helping Santa all day yesterday and part of the night and apparently an still not totally recovered...:(

Thanks for your comments and good wishes. I hope you are all having yourself a Merry Christmas...or at least a Happy Holiday...or both:)
