I have no issue with those who insist that only "Happy Holidays" is the way to greet people whose observances are unknown to the greeter.
But I have more affinity with those who are less sensitive, and (like me) appreciate the majority including the various minorities in their greetings. We are Hanukkah people, but if you wish me a Merry Christmas, brothers and sisters-- I'm happy to be joyous with you in your merriment.
I choose not to feel conquered, excluded, or imposed on. Your happiness is a blessing, and I am only glad to share it.
And in years such as this one, we get to dance together, because as happens every few years, the calendars decided your holidays and ours overlap.
warmest wishes for the holiday season, whatever one celebrates

I think I spelled Hanukah wrong and now I'm the Christmas/Hanukah reindeer that went the wrong direction.
ReplyDeleteThere's no wrong spelling of Hannukah/Hanukkah/Hanukah/Chanukah etc., because it's not an English word and the spelling was never standardized. Merry Christmas and all good things, Janie
ReplyDeleteWishing you a blessed Hanukkah, dear friend, and a joyous coming year! I love your inclusive attitude. Feel free to wish me a happy Hanukkah as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy Hanukkah, Mirka!
