Merry Christmas
December 25, 2006
Oh-oh, here come the lawsuits. I have the audacity to wish
everyone a Merry Christmas. Well, damned if it isn’t
Christmas and on that special day, it is not only customary
but highly appropriate to issue the greeting of the day. And
that greeting is “Merry Christmas.”
I send this greeting to Christians, Jews, Muslims and every
other person in the world regardless of religious
affiliation or lack of one. I never heard of anyone being
censured for saying “Happy New Year, or “Happy Valentine’s
Day.” So what’s the difference? Maybe we should be suing the
people who dream up the rules on political correctness
instead of people like me attempting to be genuinely
personable.
OK, so now I’m sure I can look forward to being sued by
Rabbi Elazar
Bogomilsky, who will undoubtedly claim I have insulted all
Jews by saying “Merry Christmas,” and not “Happy Hanukkah.”
Sorry Rabbi. Hanukkah is over already and many Jews are too
busy erecting Christmas trees for their children to
participate in semantic games involving the names of
holidays. Maybe you can sue me on January 1 when I insult
all Jews by saying “Happy New Year,” on a day that isn’t
really the Jewish New Year.
Sorry I went a little off-topic there for a moment. Morons
tend to distract me more than they should. So... Merry
Christmas everybody. I sincerely hope your holiday season
has been a good one and portends better things in the coming
year. Try to keep some of that Christmas spirit going all
year long. The world can use the cheer.
