Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday, Winter Solstice, Nativity Scenes, Whatever

Man I almost made it. The new kinder gentler less sarcastic me had decided I was not going to write anything this year about the annual Merry Christmas versus Happy Holidays feud or any of the other silly Holiday season arguments. But I just don't seem able to resist commenting. I'll try to keep it short.

Am I the only one who finds it odd that this is where so many seem to have drawn a line in the sand and are standing up, both hands raised, middle fingers extended and defiantly yelling it's Merry Christmas not Happy Holidays? Doesn't really seem to fit in with the whole peace on earth goodwill toward men theme of the season. So once again what we have is the loud rhetoric of the superficial replacing the simplicity of a quiet life of faith.

But what do I know? So go ahead continue contributing to the trivialization of the sacred, I won't say another word.

I hope you have a Happy and Joyous ______________ season however you choose to celebrate it.
