In the spirit of traditional values, this holiday season I will refrain from the politically correct “Happy Holidays” greeting and hit you full steam with a big-course “Merry Christmas!” This is the greeting that happens to bring me joy during this time of year, so I shall bestow it upon you who reads this.
As I am all for diversity and free exchange of values and ideas, I will openly accept your greeting of “Happy Hanukkah,” “Happy Kwanzaa,” or whatever it is you celebrate this season, and return it with my own personal “Merry Christmas!” This is the practice I think we should follow rather than an ambiguous “Happy Holidays.” Give me your greeting, and I shall give you mine, thus promoting friendliness and good will in several different cultures.
Merry Christmas.
Very well put.
