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.
