I couldn't help giggle as I read your post and thought,"I'm a rebel" too and posted this on my blog. It's funny for something that we have grown up with and sparks of cheer and fun, it's so hush hush...heavens...are they going to change "It's a Wonderful Life" and dub "Happy Holidays" over George's "Merry Christmas"? MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Welcome to everyone visiting from Coffee, Tea, Books and Me! Hope - Hi and thanks for asking. If someone wishes me a happy holidays, I say Merry Christmas. The season is about Christmas, not some vague holiday. If I said Merry Christmas to someone and they said that they celebrate Hanukkah or something else... Then I would give them a big smile and wish them a Happy Hanukkah. If they said they didn't celebrate Christmas, then I would respond that I hope they have a nice weekend or something else like that. My point is not to be offensive or belittle people who don't celebrate Christmas. My point is to speak of Christmas which is what I am celebrating, not a vague holiday season. I hope that clears it up. :D Brenda, Carla and Carol – Thank you for the links!

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 20:54:37 +0000 http://aquietsimplelife.com/?p=1145#comment-3801 I don't really understand this way of thinking. Of course if you know someone celebrates Christmas, it makes sense to wish them a merry one. If the other person is a stranger, however, what would be the point of assuming they celebrate that holiday or in fact, any other holiday? Hindus, Buddists, Jehovah's Witmesses, and so many others, may work in retail because they want to put food on the table and a roof over their head. They would have no control over the fact that the economy of the U.S. depends on Christmas spending. What advantage is gained in wishing a person of another faith a merry Christmas? (I could be misunderstanding this and it could be that you just want them to wish "you" a merry one, if you are buying Christmas supplies from them.(?) Forgive me if I am not "getting" it. Happens to me a lot.) I don’t really understand this way of thinking. Of course if you know someone celebrates Christmas, it makes sense to wish them a merry one.
