Wish Me a Merry Christmas!

While I fully appreciate and respect that there are all sorts of holidays going on right now, I personally miss hearing the words Merry Christmas.

It also seems that everyone is so afraid of guessing wrong when they give you their wish, that the phrase "Merry Christmas" being said is scarce at best.

Sure, Happy Holidays is fine in a non-specific greeting card, or sprayed in fake snow on the window of a storefront, but I don't really say it to people out loud.

I will glady wish a Happy Hanukah to my jewish friends (and some of my family who is of that faith).

You better know that if I knew anyone who celebrated Kwanza they'd get a big Happy Kwanza (for now I just sing it with the Whitney Houston song where she belts it out at the end).

I can't however, bring myself to say Seasons Greetings; especially living in a city where there is no such thing as a season. It also feels like something a martian would say. OR might have the word "Salutations" right after it. Who says that?

Long story short, if you would be agreeable, I'd love to get a "Merry Christmas" from you!

And to you, I wish you one of the following:

Merry Christmas!
Happy Hanukah!
Happy Kwanza!
