happy holidays?
I am sick over the fact that "happy Holidays" is the phrase of choice. How many years up until this pivot has we been saying "Merry Christmas" without incident?
And honestly, how often do when get to use the word "Merry"? merry birthday? no merry st. patrick's day? no.
And what the heck is wrong with using a word that originates from the root intent of having a celebration this time of year?
Oh oh... don't say that. "Christ" is hidden in the lettering. It might offend someone. Since when is Christ such a dirty word?
Why do we all have to water down our beliefs and generalize our statements to blanket the masses with a non-offensive grey mush?
Why is our society so afraid and cowardice? We are refusing, with every politically correct verbalization, to admit that there is something outside of ourselves. That there is something at work greater than our own feelings and something more important than whether or not we are offended by something.
If these people that are so much about free speech and so much about the liberty of the people would get over themselves, they'd see that they are a walking contradiction.
If they lived and stood for what they say they do, they would encourage everyone to speak boldly of their faith and views. instead they force feed everyone a list of what you can and cannot say as to maintain a cohesive feeling of nondescript numbness.
These people who pride themselves on being reformers are really just piddling in dopey side issues. like we shouldn't say "christmas" because it interferes with the delicate seperation of church and state. While at the core of it all they refuse to see that there is a smoldering flame of right versus wrong, good against evil, God and gods, and guilt and shame over abandoning foundational belief systems that could keep a civilization rooted.
so MERRY CHRISTMAS
