On the Second Annoying Day of Christmas
A Christian tried to slug Aunt Faye!!
She had wished him a "Happy Holiday!"
Now that gay people are getting married to each other and the world isn't being destroyed and happy marriages the world over aren't suddenly falling apart, Christians had to find some other issue to get into a tizzy about.
Even though I'm not religious I never ever had a problem with wishing folks a "Merry Christmas". And, even when I was religious (back upwards of 3 decades ago) I always thought "Happy Holidays" merely referred to Christmas and New Years Day. However, with the brouhaha now welling up like rising bile from the damn Christians I'm not inclined to say either. They make a huge point of pointing out the painfully obvious fact of "holiday" being a derivative of "Holy Day". Big fuckin' whoop-dee-doo deal!!! Words change meaning! If you don't think they do, try telling a happy male figure skater that he's gay! Ok, that's a bad example. But try saying the same thing to most any NFL player.
Regardless, I'm likely to start wishing people a "Happy Solstice!" Or even "Happy Winter Celebration of Your Choosing Should you Choose to Celebrate Anything at This Time of Year or Happy Ordinary Day Should You Choose to Not Celebrate Anything!"
But I'm afraid that might be a tad wordy and not really fit on a Christmas Card. (Or the "Winter Celebration of Your Choosing Should you Choose to Celebrate Anything at This Time of Year or Happy Ordinary Day Should You Choose to Not Celebrate Anything Card".)
What kind of moron would take offense at someone else wishing them some pleasantness?? Getting offended at being wished "Happy Holidays!" is no different than slapping the person who hands you your lottery winnings! It's rude! Don't do it!!
(O'Reilly, get out of the ring; you're out of shape and those red trunks don't look good on you.)
