When I first started this post, it was November 27th, and I was already sick of people arguing that "its Merry Christmas, and they shouldnt be forced to say Happy Holidays." While I support freedom of speech and yes they're 100% correct. You can wish me a Merry Christmas...and I can wish you a Happy Ramadan. Oh, whats that? You don't celebrate Ramadan? Well I don't celebrate Christmas.(well I do, but mainly due to family) So you wishing me a Merry Christmas is just as effective as me wishing you a Happy Solstice. If I'm talking to someone I don't know I'm going to say Happy Holidays. I don't know that person, I don't know his or her beliefs. I'm going to say it out of respect for that persons beliefs. Not because I'm being forced to so I can be PC. It's just the polite thing to do. Now I'm sure polite in the NYC area is a foreign concept, and one I'm sure I'll post about in the future, but for the rest of the country, can we please end the pointless arguing? Let's all just enjoy whatever it is we celebrate
Happy Holidays
