A couple of issues that are bugging me, at the moment.
Christmas vs. Holidays
- - - - - - - - - -
Just because Christmas is the most widespread holiday this time of year, it doesn't mean that saying "Happy Holidays" is in any way, shape or form a slight or a de-Christing of Christmas. At least, not when it's coming from me. I can't exactly speak for other people.
I am part of the majority that celebrates Christmas. If Christ truly is the "Reason for the Season", then why are more Christmasians not accepting of the fact that other people hold different beliefs? Christmasians seem to be a very exclusive and hostile lot when it comes to what greeting gets used when you are talking to them. They seem to get offended at the fact that people say "Happy Holidays" in stead of "Merry Christmas".
Joyous Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah, and Merry Christmas to you. And, while we're at it, Happy New Year, when it rolls around. In other words, Happy Holidays. Get over yourselves, people.
The Cashmas Holiday

I've worked in a retail environment for most of the last 10 years. I have seen the all the circusy crap that goes on in stores trying to get your money and it really irks me. So, Merry Cashmas to all you retailers out there. Hope it turns out well enough for it to make it worth your while to play such games.
