On the other hand, if you dare to use the word "holiday" people look at you as though you have killed baby Jesus. I've come to worry much less about the words these days, and focus much more on the meaning of Christmas.<br /><br />Hope yours is merry!<br />MargaretSingle and Sanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01088040256596780195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-64129186975734076882011-12-02T18:20:01.072-08:002011-12-02T18:20:01.072-08:00Jo honey I have missed you and your writing.

Claim you belong to a religious group who worships Fest I Val and Ho Li Day.<br /><br />Fest I was the King of Val, a land of wonder and myth, in days gone by. The biggest celebration every year in Val was Ho Day - a day in which the great Ho, Li, was honored for her service to ... men ... who she considered to be kind (man kind). <br /><br />The result will be that it will become politically incorrect say happy holidays and people will need to use the generic term Christmas to refer to this time of year.<br /><br />But until then, Happy Ho Li Day!! No, wait .... that is SO offensive. Let's just go with Merry Christmas!Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11072219347283927398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-77358199129159460842011-11-28T04:20:50.907-08:002011-11-28T04:20:50.907-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11072219347283927398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-4450860163374390092011-11-27T14:49:23.310-08:002011-11-27T14:49:23.310-08:00I so agree, Jo!

I once had a boss who was so afraid of offending the two Muslim employees (out of 300 Christian and Jewish employees) that she insisted I go to the restaurant where our Holiday Party was booked and make them remove the Christmas tree and all Christmas decorations from the private dining room and blow up dozens of colored balloons as decor instead. As you can imagine, the restaurant manager -- who had two other parties booked into that private dining room in the time slots after us -- was not amused. It feels so good to say Christmas, Christmas, Christmas!Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-46792374943037958952011-11-27T09:30:37.323-08:002011-11-27T09:30:37.323-08:00Feels like Christmas to me.Feels like Christmas to me.Linda Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706455533282204519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-44641974170443369112011-11-27T08:00:55.214-08:002011-11-27T08:00:55.214-08:00Hear!
