A Holiday Message



I hope everyone has a Wonderful Holiday! This was the picture I sent out in my Christmas cards this year. I think I took around 500 pictures and settle on this one because 1. although he wasn't smiling, he wasn't crying either, and 2. you can see part of his head, where as the rest were primarily of the back of his head as he took off running.

Note my card does say Happy Holidays. This, I assure you, has nothing to do with the so-called War on Christmas. It's just what I've always done. I never even thought too much about it before. But since all the news coverage has been filtering into my brain, I now found myself questioning what I should or shouldn't say. I had an appointment today, and as I was leaving the office I said "Have a Merry Christmas". Immediately I thought, "oh, shit. What if they don't celebrate Christmas". WTF is up with that? It's a very sad day, when you have to censor yourself from saying something like Merry Christmas. I should be able to, without worrying or wondering if I'm offending anyone. It's not like I'm telling anyone to go fuck themselves! Why are we creating so much drama over such an insignificant issue. I celebrate Christmas. Am I offended if someone wishes me a Happy Hanukkah?? Fuck no. I'll take all the Happy anything I can get. Anyway, didn't mean to make this a downer post. So... that's all I've got to say about that.

And btw, thank you to everyone who stopped by yesterday to see my first pic and welcome me to HNT! I really appreciate your comments. If I haven't visited you yet I will. I'm just a little busy with the Holidays right now.

That's all for now. Peace Out.

I'm so with you on this one. I celebrate Christmas (well, not this year but that's a long story) so I wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Tonight I ordered Chinese food and when the obviously very Chinese fellow told me that price and I paid him, as he walked away I wished him a Merry Christmas. Should have seen his face. He acted like no one ever said it to him before. But in reality, since everyone is so worried about offending anyone by saying it, maybe no one has.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too.

There I said it and I don't care who knows it. ;-)
