Christmas is just five days away, and frankly, I'm tired of saying "Happy Holidays."
I'm tired of worrying about getting sued if I say "Merry Christmas" to someone that celebrates Hanukkah. Or Kwanzaa. Unless I can tell your religion just by looking at you, then yes, sometimes I am going to be wrong.
Why can't you just smile and accept it? No reason to get butthurt over someone's heartfelt greeting. Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, I do, and that's the reason I said it.
I don't live or work in an environment where this is a problem, actually. But I hate reading about it in the newspaper. I hate seeing it on the news. It's ridiculous. I hate that school choirs aren't allowed to sing Christmas songs. I hate that "A Christmas Carol" has been banned from some schools. Why?! It's not hurting anyone! And if it is, then said person needs to get a serious reality check.
I hope this isn't a problem with future generations. With our generation. Political correctness is bullshit.
We've gone from multi-cultural to no-cultural.
The next time I see my friend Eli (who is Jewish) I'm telling him, "Merry Christmas." And he'll probably say "Happy Hanukkah" back to me. Because we're cool. And can deal.
Merry Christmas to everyone. And if you don't celebrate Christmas, well, have fun with whatever you're doing.
(I'm an atheist, by the way. I'd rather not turn this blog to religion. Let's just leave it at I like presents, okay? :P)
