Happy Holy Days!

Merry Christmas versus Happy Holidays.

Man, is this ALL anyone can talk about on the radio? Okay, it's Christmas... I call it that, others don't, so call it what you will. I find it difficult to believe that anyone in this country would be offended by being told "Merry Christmas" from friends or strangers rather than "Happy Holidays."

If you find one, however, and they are one of the ultra-secularist liberals espousing atheism from every street corner, remind them that "Holiday" is just as "religious" and "Church-based" as "Christmas" is... holiday is simply a very literal reference to a Church-designated holy day that provided the vast majority of poor and working classes over the ages to refrain from work, and eat a hearty meal at their lord's and master's expense. Tell those damn church-haters that if they dig a little deeper, they would find that there were more than 165 holy days on the Church calendars as late as 1688... nearly half of a solar calendar automaticly designated HOLIDAY TIME!

Oppressive church practices... sheesh!
