Screw your Happy Holidays!
I feel fake everytime I tell someone "Happy Holidays!". I am a Christian and I celebrate Christmas. I also celebrate Hanumas. So I want to tell you Merry Christmas. Or perhaps Happy Hanumas. And if you are Jewish and would like to wish me a Happy Hanukkah, or perhaps you celebrate Kwanzaa and would care to explain the traditions to me... I would gladly rejoice with you. If I know that you celebrate a different holiday than I do at this time, I would love to wish you a Happy (Fill in space)!
What the heck is going on that we cannot be joyous in our own beliefs and still honor others? Are we supposed to pretend like we are all the same? We're not. So what? That's what makes everything so interesting. Instead of acting blind to our differences, we should appreciate them, learn from them and become better because of them.
Merry Christmas!
