OK yall...I have reached my mental limit trying to understand the convoluted, PC usage of HOLIDAY.
1st question: WTF? Why do I have to disguise celebrating Christmas?
2nd question: Kwanzaa Starts the day after Christmas. Why do I have to disguise celebrating Christmas? Why would someone be upset with Christians celebrating Christmas?
3rd question: Chanukah starts at different points in time, but all the Jewish folks I know celebrate their beliefs and don't have a problem with Christmas. The Christians I know don't have any issue with Jews celebrating Chanukah. I know a Jewish woman at work that hands out Christmas cards to her coworkers.....not sure they don't return the favor, but that's another rant...so again, why do I have to disguise celebrating Christmas?
4th question: There was a home for kids that did not have their own families that came to the office to sing. The email said they were here to sing "holiday carols". Silent Night, King Winceslas are Christmas carols, not holiday carols. Didn't see any fires, riots or effigies burning in the parking lot. Didn't hear anything that was unfamiliar. No songs that were Hebrew or anything that I would identify as part of the Kwanzaa celebration.
HOLIDAY DECORATIONS: Christmas trees, mangers, angels, SANTA.....these are not holiday decorations.
I'm really and truely not getting it. I have been part of a Christmas celebration since I was born. Now I can't say Merry Christmas out loud because it might offend someone?
Again......we return to question number one.
Don't get me wrong....Everyone that knows me, knows I love and respect any and all personal choices and beliefs. I have absolutely no problem with the celebration of Chanukah or Kwanzaa, but please, being in the closet is not the way to lead a life and stop making me feel self conscience about being and believing what I do. Dang!
PS.......Merry Christmas yall.
