So the season is upon us and just like every year its got me thinking. This is the time of year hwere holids and traditions are shared my namy. Some celebrate Christmas (we fall into that category). Some celebrate Hanukah and others celebrate Kwanzaa. And then there are those that choose not to celebrate at all.
My thing is why say Happy Holidays? I know it's just generic and this way we don't offend someone but why not say the greeting for holiday or tradition? I would not be any way offended if someone told me 'Happy Hanukah' or 'Happy Kwanzaa'. I would take it as a blessing and be appreciative. It's the same of someone telling you 'have a great day'. Its a form of a blessing.
Please don't misunderstand me. I don't get offended when someone tells me 'Happy Holidays'. But my response to them is 'Merry Christmas'.
It just seems people are really looking for things to complain about more and more these days. Like they want a unifom type society where we all believe the same, dress the same, talk the same....etc. Its like we all want control.
The truth is we were no created to be the same. no matter whoe your Higher Power may be (or if you even choose to believe in one) its pretty obvious we are all defferent. As such we should celebrate that!
So I say please share your beliefs and traditions by saying your celebrations blessing to everyone. This is what makes us all so special. All esle fails just wish someone a dreat day. Putting smiles on faces and spreading love is waht is important.
So from our family to yours, Merry Christams and many blessings to ya'll this season and in the New Year!
