Re: Merry Christmas

I have no problem at all with someone wishing me a Merry Christmas, Happy
Chanukah, Happy Kwanza, Happy Winter Solstice or whatever. My problem is
with the merchants that have caved in to the PC police, and now attempt to
solicit my business for the Christmas season, but aren't willing to name
the holiday, although it's the most important selling time of the year. If
you want to solicit my business for my holiday, name the holiday. Those
who do not practice this holiday should not be offended by these
solicitations, since they choose not to practice this holy day. Of
course, this can also lead into the whole commercialization of
Christmas.....

I don't get what the big deal is. If someone wishes me happy holidays,
merry Christmas, happy Chanukah, solstice wishes or happy Kwanzaa, I
appreciate the thought and wish the same to them.

As for corporate holiday wishes (or government for that matter*), I
generally try to ignore them as I do most other advertising.

Merry Christmas,
Adam

"Those voters are being targeted with an all-out charm offensive,
although Kenney denies that any selective courting of votes is going on.

But Kenney and other ministers continue to make appearances at events.
And it means Happy Hanukkah greetings or Chinese New Year cards are sent
out sometimes to those whose names sound Jewish or Chinese, but aren't."
