This is the time of year (well, it was until December25th) when many in our politically correct society painstakingly avoids saying, "Merry Christmas" and instead use the generic, "Happy Holidays." Now I can understand the thinking that December is a month filled with many holidays including, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years', Festivus, and who knows what else.
However, I must take exception when someone dressed up as Santa Claus says, "Happy Holidays." I mean he is Santa for crying out loud! If you see a picture of a menorah or dreidel, you would expect to see the phrase Happy Hanukkah. Why should one of the principle representations of Christmas have to deny, or at best water down, the specific holiday he represents?!
Okay, my rant is done. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
