Be not afraid to say ‘Merry Christmas’
Merry Christmas – or maybe I’m not allowed to say that.
It saddens my heart when I hear different branches of our American government declare it’s “improper” to say “Christmas” in the open public, and businesses that instruct their employees they must not say “Merry Christmas” but to wish everyone “happy holidays.”
Well, “holiday” is a combination of the words holy and day. New Year’s Day isn’t a holy day, so the only holiday at this time is Christmas. Saying “happy holiday” sounds stupid.
