Well, I'm just sick of this "politically correct" stuff about our whole holiday season. It's just ridiculous that TV ads, and store ads and everything won't say "Merry Christmas" because it might offend someone.
I determined that I'm wishing everyone I see a "Merry Christmas" and skipping the generic happy holiday stuff.
So everywhere I've gone this week, which has been to the stores and doctor and dog kennel and such, well I've made a point of wishing all I meet a "very Merry Christmas" and I do it with a smile!
What has been so cool is that everyone responded with the same Merry Christmas response back to me and all chatted with me of how they like Christmas to stay just as it is...Christmas, not general holiday stuff.
So, that's been my fun adventure this week, finding out just how many other people like to say "Merry Christmas" and mean it!!

Gals,

I have to chuckle at the hub bub surrounding saying Merry Christmas...Cause, they want us to say Happy Holidays instead...Well...Holidays is actually taken from the words holy-days..So...

I am also wishing everyone I see Merry Christmas..

Good grief...what is next...
