Happy holidays(how many remain?)
16 years ago
General
I'd like to wish everybody a happy holidays, but that would be bad grammar.
To anybody who is Jewish, Muslim, atheist, or otherwise not Christian, have a nice day off. Sit back with a glass of the finest egg nog, and quickly spit it out because it's no tastier this time of year than any other time. Also, let the Christians enjoy their holiday. I've been wishing Christians a happy Hanukkah(while it was Hanukkah), so the mis-matching of holiday wishes is taken care of for the opposite direction. I did this with my pastor, some other folks, and a guy that regularly uses "Jew" in a negative connotation.
And to any Christians, of course have a merry Christmas, sit back with a glass of the finest egg nog, and quickly spit it out because it's no tastier this time of year than any other time, blessed or unblessed. Also, let the businesses be too politically correct, as you're not their only customers. If the court house won't have a nativity scene in front of it, put one in front of your house. In my opinion, being mad about a government building not having a nativity scene or the 10 Commandments is like being mad about McDonald's not putting them up either. Neither's purpose is to promote a specific religion.
...I'm still programmed to be offended any time I hear "Happy holiday(s)", blegh.
Oh look! Christmas wrapping is done! I haven't examined any of my presents because I know it's a cheapie thing that is taking money away from the utilities. Nothing to get too eager about. I want to be able to afford to give somebody an iPod for Christmas. I'd like to GET an iPod for Christmas! Preferably, I'd prefer to not bother with presents. Really, who knows what someone else wants? Just get something nice for yourself and I'll get something nice for myself. Let's give each other a twenty and call it good.

If they can steal it from the pagans, so can I.
