Happy Kwazmaska!

:sigh: What's up with the world? Can't you say Merry Christmas anymore without being branded as "politically incorrect"? I realize that other people are celebrating other holidays and that not everyone believes in Christmas (thats another story). In fact, one of my co-workers doesn't. Now i'm not saying that we should "enforce" our holiday on others that don't want anything to do with it (but certainly if you know of the true meaning of Christmas, you should be spreading the good news), but this personal encounter of mine just ticked me off. . .

We just got our Christmas tree this past Saturday (late, i know). Finally found a good one that was left at a small family-run farm. The man in charge was very nice - picked the tree up, shook the dead needles off, put it in one of those plastic mesh thingies, and took it to our car. This being done, he departs by saying, "You folks enjoy the holidays now." Enjoy what?! For crying out loud, one would think that you could be safe in saying Merry Christmas at a Christmas tree farm!! Do you really think that someone will be offended because they were actually picking up their Hannakah tree! Really now.

For those of you who are also fed up with people saying "Happy Holidays", I recommend a reply of "Happy Kwazmaska to you too!"
