So all three were able to marry instead of embracing whoredom. And if that doesn’t give you a nice Christmas glow, I don’t know what will. Brings a tear to the eye of a brother. _sniff_ When is the Hallmark Channel movie being broadcast? > [@thelurkinghorror](#): > > What both right-wing cranks and left-wing PC stereotypes fail to realize is that by replacing “Merry Christmas” with “Happy Holidays” you are still etymologically wishing people have a joyous time during the holiest of days. Why I wish “Happy Holidays,” from another thread (with revisions): > [@Stupid Republican idea of the day](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stupid-republican-idea-of-the-day/490897/26259): > > I know that Texas Protestants only count three holidays this time of year, Black Friday (in liturgical terms it begins at sundown on Thanksgiving; in football terms you can include the whole previous day), Christmas, and New Years Day ;), but as a piss-poor Lutheran but a one-time very good Catholic I did a quick run-through of the holiday season. Advent began 11/29, St Nicholas’s feast day was 12/6, the feast of the Immaculate Conception was 12/8, Christmas is 12/25, St Stephen’s Day is 12/26, the Feast of the Circumcision (I lapsed a long time ago) is 1/1, and Epiphany is 1/6. Then Eastern Rite has some of the dates wrong but because my brother went Russian I have to be aware of them, Jews have Hanukkah sometime during this period (have I mentioned that I hate movable feasts?), Muslims can’t agree on a day to–or whether to–celebrate the birth of the Prophet but it’s in there somewhere, and then there’s Kwanzaa, if anybody but white elementary schoolteachers still celebrate it. > > I think that’s a full plate of Holiday Season, better than a month, to hope people enjoy, and I’m not even including the Wiccans, Buddhists, Hindus, and everybody else. By limiting it to Merry Christmas, “merry” being an inappropriate emotional response to the birth of our Lord, I feel some people give me a theological poke in they eye, and I don’t like it. :mad: The Easter holiday season, starting with Western Ash Wednesday, 2/10, and ending on Eastern Pentecost on 6/19, with everybody having a holiday or five in between, starts to be awkwardly long. The lesson is that every day somebody is celebrating a holiday, and if you wish everybody a happy holiday some will be pleased by your inclusiveness. And everybody else will be offended. I don’t have the kinks worked out. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ooooooh-kyles-moms-a-bitch/741075)._
