I don’t get political on my blog - mostly because I’m an equal opportunity hater when it comes to those kinds of things, but I can no longer ignore the Merry Christmas vs Happy Holidays Debate.

When you say Happy Holidays to me, I take it to mean Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (or for those so inclined Happy Hannakuah (my apologies to the entire Jewish faith for my bungled spelling) and Happy New Year or Happy Kwanza and Happy New Year, etc, etc).

So, to me, when you say Merry Christmas, you’re leaving out the Happy New Year part and basically saying, I hope you have a crappy-ass New Year.

But come on, we all know what we should really say, “Enjoy your frenzied orgy of spending and I hope you don’t have a hangover on January 1st.”

Until that comes into popular usage, it’s all about Happy Holidays for me.
