I just thought I would add in a little video to say something about Christmas.
While I am not vicious about it,I MUCH prefer hearing “Merry Christmas” rather than “Happy Holidays” or “Season’s Greetings”… And the reason is very simple. This ISN’T a random “Holiday” upon which to be “Happy” or just another “Season” we are “Greeting”. THE holiday… THE season is Christmas.
I will gladly admit that there are some other people celebrating other holidays this time of year. Kwanzaa and Hanukkah are also being celebrated. And if someone is choosing to celebrate one of those holidays (or Winter Solstice… or anything else), I would take NO offense at them greeting me with glad tidings for THEIR holiday.
Estimates range from 92%-96% of people in the United States celebrate Christmas. We NEED to be respectful of the other 4%-8% of the population… but they also need to be respectful of those that are celebrating their most important holiday of the year. Tolerance is a two way street.
My goal is not to offend those that are not celebrating Christmas. Actually, I would fight just as hard to get people to respect any holiday that you celebrate.
