It's worth saying


The politically correct "Happy Holidays" causes my blood pressure to rise. I gave these pins to my staff to wear around town, encouraging them to respond with "Merry Christmas" to all greetings.

"Happy Holidays" also angers me. According to a new Zogby poll, that's true for most people.

I hope you give your staff something else for Christmas -- in addition to these buttons and the instructions to do your noble bidding! Do not forget that "Gabdandy" person! Heavens!

I thought you were a little batty when I first read this, but having just returned from gatherings and quests -- and being wished "happy holidays," I agree with you. I do not like it.

Happy holidays is annoying, but probably well-intentioned.

To a few people who wished me "happy holidays," I asked, "Which one?" To one woman, I asked, "Which one do you celebrate?" (She was stunned -- and she was Jewish.)

Good luck with your mission and your buttons ...
