The reason that Obama has taken flak for the whole Happy Holidays thing is NOT because he didn't say Merry Christmas a number of times...but because he didn't say it (at least) ONE time. If I recall correctly, it was a Christmas card that didn't say Christmas.We often get stained with our mistakes rather than with our wins. The truth is that it is perfectly find to say Happy Holidays...so long as you are not doing it to AVOID saying Merry Christmas.I consistently marvel at how corporations, to avoid MAYBE upsetting, say, Jewish folks (who make up only 1% of the population) or atheists (most of whom don't seem to care), will instead provoke the vast majority of Christians. Maybe we are right to boycott, since that seems to be what these corporations are hoping to avoid by catering to those of other religions or sexual orientations. No, we don't wish to needlessly provoke those who don't live or believe as we do, but neither should WE accept being needlessly provoked when we can simply take our business elsewhere. I think every corporation needs to remember what happened when Chik-fil-A was castigated for supporting traditional marriage, right?At the same time, it is refreshing to know that a president, despite him being about the seemingly most unorganized, chaotic president in memory (or ever), is PURPOSELY saying Merry Christmas, and not just as a routine greeting for this time of year.
