I held off as long as I could, but finally had to just blog about this. I’m a “Merry Christmas” kind of dude. When I’m shopping and interacting with people this time of year, that’s what I say to them. It’s simple folks, it’s the Christmas shopping season, not the Holiday shopping season. Political Dumbness Correctness is out of control in many areas; particularly this one.
I’d rather get a Hanukkah or Kwanzaa greeting than to receive a sterilized-so-as-to-not-offend-anyone “Happy Holidays.” In fact, I’d prefer a simple “thank you” or “have a nice day,” in lieu of that annoying “Happy Holidays.” And don’t give me that “it’s store policy” riff — I’m not buyin’ it.
So, to accompany this short rant, give this poll a try.
Extra credit if you can guess the response Deacon Chris chose

Ha, I know the response! I’ve been present for the actual ranting. Merry Christmas
