We live in an increasingly politically correct culture. In a society that prefers Season's Greetings and Happy Holidays, I'll confess that I'm not a very politically correct person. Especially when it pertains to Christmas!
Approaching this Christmas season, the thought occurred to me that we only hear this struggle at Christmas. The other holidays of the year are treated with greetings of their own merit. From Valentine's Day to Veteran's Day, each holiday seems to have it's own greeting.
While some may argue that we group Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's in order to refer to the season or holidays, both Thanksgiving and New Year's seems to have their own greeting ~ leaving Christmas out in the proverbial cold. (There is absolutely no seasonal pun intended there!) Incidentally, before the freedom from religion card gets played, I would suggest that even Hanukkah and Kwanzaa gets their own respect from a culture that seems to refuse Christmas the same.
Would you join me in wishing those in your sphere of influence a very Merry Christmas? A genuine smile and a Merry Christmas could go a long way in making someone's day!
