Happy Holidays
Now, I am not necessarily opposed to the Christmas greeting of "Happy Holidays", but this attempt by the Secular world to erase the word 'Christmas' is ridiculous. I can be pretty inclusive at times, and if combining all the holidays together helps bring others into the Spirit or whatever, so be it. Lets just say, I am not offended by it, even if I think it is over pushed at times. In the end, I will still say Merry Christmas. However, there is an attempt to erase Christmas all together. For example, the case with Wal-Mart, when they would have a Kwanzaa Section, and a Hannukah section, but the Christmas section was redirected to the Holiday section. I have also read reports about Barnes and Noble relabeling Christmas Music as Holiday Music, while maintaining the Hannukah section.
If it was not for Christ, and for the Catholic Church celebrating that Feast, then there would be no holiday. This would be just another month and another day. At the very least, people need to recognize the big hype is not about Hannukah or Kwanzaa or Ramadan, but the hype has always been over Christmas. Period. People need to just get over it and accept it for what it is. This super inclusiveness has gone too far, and in the end, it is going to hurt the retailers and others who fall into the same trap. This super inclusiveness has led to super exclusivness.
