So now we are not supposed to say "Merry Christmas" because it might offend someone?

This seems to be the big controversy this year, as well as others. A local radio station just had their "burning question" feature of the morning, where listeners can call in and voice their opinion. The burning question of the morning was should we say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays.

Someone called in and actually said that we should say only Happy Holidays so that we do not hurt someone's feelings.

Oh please!

Exactly when did we pass the rule that says the majority has to feel bad, be labeled intolerant, and change because of a few whiners?

What a raging sense of entitlement. Sorry, not going to do it!

OK, I'm in the majority, so it is easy for me to say this. Point taken.

At the same time, if I was in the minority, I would hear the wishes of the majority in the holiday spirit they are intended and not complain that you did not say it to me just right.

If you celebrate Hanukuh, Kwanza, or rock worshipping, good for you knock yourself out I support you completely.

But if you then tell me that I cannot say Merry Christmas, well, you have crossed, no leaped over the line of reason in my book.

In a land where tolerance is supposed to be King, I wonder how well these thoughts will be tolerated?

So Happy and Joyous Whatever It Is You Are Celebrating, and Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry, Merry Christmas!
