I’m glad to see that some of you aren’t shying away from the traditional “Merry Christmas”. It’s very refreshing to see. This year, I decided to just wish everyone a peaceful holiday with wishes for a peaceful world, and let it go at that. I’m no “Miss Manners” (by a long shot), but it’s just tough to know, isn’t it, how you should voice your wish (es), so I vote for the tradional greetings followed by a “don’t get your panties in a wad”, if someone doesn’t like it. Merry Christmas, dammit! 😉 Q ---
