Ok, I know it’s not Christmas yet, but its extremely interesting to me that people go around saying “happy holidays” instead of “merry christmas” to each other because they want to be “pc” and not “offend” anyone.  While I’m quite aware that not everyone celebrates Christmas, it seems a little odd that people think its better to just say happy holidays.  Maybe its just me and I celebrate xmas so I have this slight tendency to think its okay to say merry xmas.  Anyway, the reason people get the 25th off of work/school is because its Christmas not because its just a random day off.  It’s a holiday for everyone!  Not only those who celebrate it.  So I think its okay and I think people should say Merry Christmas to each other instead of holidays.  The fact that it is “happy holidays” seems to be a marketing scheme that brilliant people have come up with to suck us all in.  “Happy Holidays” is about buying gifts for each other (not saying I don’t buy gifts), but “Merry Christmas” is about Jesus.  We should be able to say Merry Christmas to each other and if you don’t celebrate it, fine, you don’t have to respond.  Do you see people saying “oh, i just bought a holiday tree?”  No, it’s called a Christmas tree and I’m sure many people who don’t celebrate Christmas (for Jesus), celebrate it for the consumerism side.  I mean, I think it’s great that people take this time to spend with their families and all.  And they should.  I just think its really really interesting with the whole being pc thing.  Sorry my thoughts on this are very scattered.  Yeah, so let me know the next time you hear someone say they are going to buy a “holiday” tree instead of a Christmas one.  Maybe at that point, saying happy holidays will be a little better.
