Merry Christmas....

.... and don't even tell me that the above phrase is not politically correct, because all of the blasted politicians aren't "correct" either, in my opinion.

With Christmas coming soon.... just 49 days away.... I do wish that everyone who celebrates the 25th of December would go back to saying "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays." 

Hasn't "Merry Christmas" worked well for decades and decades?  Those who don't celebrate Christmas don't have to say anything at all.... but for those of us who do celebrate the Christmas season, shouldn't we be able to say so without getting blasted for it?

We all say "Happy Halloween" without a problem, making the 31st day of October separate and distinct from every other day in that month.  Same goes for February--- we all say "Happy Valentine's Day" without a problem.  And what about Saint Patty's Day?  Is wearing a shamrock on March 17th going to give a whole group of people something else to complain about?

So why on this blessed earth do we all of a sudden have to give up saying "Merry Christmas" because non-Christmas-celebrating people don't want anyone else in the world to use that phrase?

Give us all a blessed break.

Merry Christmas!... 49 days early, and to all a good night.
