Screw "Happy Holidays"
I dont say happy holidays to people I will be seeing or talking to throughout the season.
During Chanukah I will happily Wish people I know a "Happy Chanooka" (hey when they learn to spell it I'll learn how to say it;) )
During Ramadan after getting Gas I will wish those people a "peaceful Ramadon"
And around Christmas I say "Merry Christmas"
I'd wish people a "Happy Quanza" if it were a legitimate real holiday but its not, so I dont.
And its a #)@*%*$)# CHRISTMAS Tree!
Not a "Holiday tree".
During the season, I wish EVERYONE a "Merry Christmas". I'm Christian, so I wish them the peace and joy of this special Holy Day.
Now, if during Chanuka, a Jew wishes me "Happy Chanuka", I will smile, thank him, and return a "Merry Chrismas" to him. He is offering greetings in the spirit of his holiday, and I will do the same.
I've yet to hear any "Ramadan" greetings, but if iffered, after ensuring the greeter is explosive free, I'll thank him for the spitir of his greeting as well.
Kwanzaa? Bah! A made up black seperatist "celebration" that bastardizes african traditions to satsisfy the ego of a ex-convict. fuhgetabbutit!
