Ok, maybe not Season's Greetings...that's teetering over the edge of the lame scale. But I guess I can't say "Merry Christmas" in the spirit of peace on earth and goodwill to the thin-skinned. Hmmmm - what about "Happy Holidays" (it's got alliteration going for it, anyway)? And it avoids conflict - which, as you know, is what I live for.
All right, so I'll get to the point of this extended internal/external monolgue. I cannot comprehend why anyone would have a problem with being wished a Merry Christmas (by me). I'm not forcing whatever mixed-up beliefs I have on you - I'm not asking you to get down on your knees and cry "Praise de Lord!" I'm not even mentioning religion...All I am doing is expressing a (no doubt superficial) wish that you will have a 25th of December that is full of smiles and puppydogs and snickerdoodles. (Ya, you're right, I'm such a jerk...)
Maybe I'll just hybridize and say "Happy Christmas" like the Brits.
