Ahh the day after Thanksgiving. Triptifan (sp?) wearing off, and only 20 shopping days to Christmas.Does it tick you off when someone says “Merry Christmas”? It’s usually said with good intentions, but it certainly irks me a little when everyone seems to ASSUME Christianity.I always reply “Thanks — Merry Solstice to you too!” with a big smile. I get Good looks!
It is a tricky issue. Finding the right greeting for the season without imposing your own beliefs on others. We recently started using Happy Merry Holidays!
It seems not to exclude anyone and shares the general good cheer of the season. And that’s what it’s about, right?
There are even cards with the greeting on it that you can find at happymerryholidays website (dot com, I think.
Seems to be well received, as well.
Happy Merry Holidays to everyone!
We could go back to the days of trusting in GOLD! I’m sure that’s what American banks would surely benifit from.
