The other day I was at a local tavern and ordered up the "Christmas Special" - a martini. She prepared the beverage and presented it to my mother and me.
With a sparkle in her eye and a smile on her face, she said, "Merry Christmas!" adding, "I'm so happy we can say Merry Christmas. Last year we weren't allowed."
She scurried away with a spring in her step.
The gears in my head started turning.
I have never, ever, felt the need to simply wish somebody, "Happy Holidays." To me, it sounds like a cop-out. When others wish me Happy Holidays, I cringe a little inside, and return with, "Merry Christmas."
In the past, it felt like wishing people Merry Christmas was an act of bravery - it isn't. I'm glad the pendulum has finally swung this way, at least on this subject.
From all of us here at DOTC to all of yours, Merry Christmas!
