Holidays

When did we become so politically correct as a country that we have to result to "holiday parties" and saying happy holidays to people because saying "Merry Christmas" might offend someone?

Isn't the basis of all these different holidays basically the same? I mean when you really get down to brass tacks are they really all that different? Do they not evoke the same emotions towards their fellow man?

If I say Merry Christmas to someone of the Jewish faith (had I not known they were Jewish), wouldn't they get that I was saying it in the spirit of the season? Or do you think they will really get offended.

When did we all become so politically correct? We're so pathetic when it comes to sparing other people's feelings that its become sad. If someone of a different faith were to come up to me and wish me a happy Hanukkah, or Merry Kwanza I'd be fine with it. People need to relax, and take a breather.

I've lost all semblance of where I was exactly going with this. So I'm just going to end it here. All I'm saying is, relax people. Holidays are holidays, if someone wishes you a merry this, or a happy that, just keep in mind they are just wishing you well. Don't be a jerk.
