Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Kwanzaa. Sorry we missed the start of Hanukkah by a day. But everyone enjoy their holidays. I so don’t get this whole being insulted because people say happy holidays and not Merry Christmas. Contrary to what some people may think you can’t actually tell by looking at a person what faith they follow. I have a lot of friends that are Christian, and none of them are insulted by being bid happy holidays. It seemed like a nice compromise so that you wouldn’t be in the embarrassing moment of wishing Merry Christmas to someone who was Jewish, or Happy Hanukkah to someone who was Christian. There are lots of religions out there to get confused with this time of year. Some years Ramadan also falls around this same week, and then you’re really struggling on what to wish anyone. But don’t we all agree that Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, and Christmas, are all holidays? Can’t we at least agree on that much? Besides, if you were hitting it correct for our faith it would be Happy Yule, or Happy Solstice. Plus there are all sorts of civil holidays that happen around this time of year. Boxing day in the U. K. It’s a U. S. public holiday. It was the Emperor’s Birthday in Japan on the 23rd. New Year’s is just around the corner. I’m sure there are holidays in other parts of the world that I’m missing. So Happy Holidays everyone, and remember that most of these holidays have one common theme; we’re supposed to love one another, or at least tolerate each other. Peace on Earth, Goodwill towards everyone.
