For Hesitant Holiday Wishers
I've come across some news stories about people getting in trouble for saying "Merry Christmas" instead of the all encompassing "Happy Holidays". What's the world coming to? If someone doesn't celebrate Christmas and they are told "Merry Christmas" how is that supposed to be offensive? What matters is that someone is wishing you well, and that should be appreciated. If you want to say Merry Christmas, just say it. Happy Chanukah? Go ahead. Happy Kwanzaa? Sure. Those are all fine. Right back atchya. At least someone's trying to be nice to you. But, if you still wish to be sterile and handsoffish on the holiday wish issue, here are some suggestions that (most likely) won't offend anybody:
1. Happy November-December
2. Good Arctic Season To You
3. May the Force Be With You
4. Top O' the Holidays To Ya!
5. Be Safe When You Hang Lights Outside Your Home
6. Merry Winter
7. You Wanna Buy Some Discount Wrapping Paper From Me?
8. Here's to Jolly Gifting
9. Don't Let the Snowballs Getchya
10. Happy Cold, Unforgiving Wind Resistance Months
11. Hope You Have a Happy and Merry Non-denominational Holidayistic Paranormal Event (A What?!)
Your comments and suggestions are welcome too!

Merry Re-Gifting To You!
Have a Merry, Merry Vacation That You Actually Get, Because It Is Christmas And Chanukah and Kwanzaa And It Is All At The Sameish Time But We're Not Allowed To Say Any Of Those, Cause We're Politically Correct In This Office, So In Order To Not Offend Atheists And Dayists. Who Will Maybe Want To Draw Blood If You Say The Word "Christ" To Them, Happy Happy Vacation And Holiday
No on that second one? Why, too short?
I so agree with you. It frustrates me when someone cannot say Merry Christmas. I mean, that the name of the holiday, right? I honestly believe that political correctness has run amuck.
How about Happy Fruitcake Season? (No wait, that would offend EVERYONE!)
Thanks for visiting me. I have added you to my roll.
Good Arctic Season to you. My favorite.
And may the Yankees get their act together this spring.
jlb: good one.
kmm: that sounds like a good idea
Thérèse: tx good suggestion. love the passage...too bad it's all true
seeking solace: hey, all suggestions are welcome
hope: tx. see i don't mind bubba in center, it's the middle relief that's going to be key.
I just remembered that a few years ago in my hometown of Pittsburgh PA, there was a movement to use "Happy Sparkle Season" instead of "Merry Christmas". There was an entire media campaign encouraging this!
