'Happy Holidays!"

Thanks for reminding me. I have to prepare my annual holiday card. I make my own "Merry Winter Solstice!" cards and send them out to anyone who sends me a holiday card. Mine have a few astronomical diagrams that explain the Solstice and Perihelion.

"Happy returns of the day!"
 
" Slope off, you red nosed reindeer", (or some variant thereon) is traditional in Glasgow and is guaranteed to be equally inoffensive to all faiths.
 
I don't celebrate the religious Christmas, but I like the Hollywood, Miracle on 34th Street Christmas. I like the idea of Christmas with all its commercialism, hypocracy and other short comings.

While I don't believe in Jesus, I like the Jesus Christmas stories. Little Drummer Boy is great. I miss the Bob Hope and Andy Williams Christmas specials.

Most people seem to be in a better mood. I don't care if it's just for show.

I don't get bent out of shape whether someone says Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah or Happy Festivus. I say Merry Christmas almost all the time. I consider it just a salutation. To me it's like "Have a nice day." Whether or not you do have a nice day, I really don't care, but it'd be good if you did.

I have no qualms about enjoying myself at Christmastime and if someone else prefers not partake that's their decision but I'll most likely still say Merry Christmas.
