Merry Christmas?

Posted by The Technocrat | Filed under Geeky

People are strange. Every year, you hear about the people who are offended when a Walmart greeter says ‘Merry Christmas’ to them. They don’t believe in the reason for Christmas, so they prefer ‘Happy Holidays’.

Isn’t this a little self-centered? I don’t see this as any different than the following scenarios:

I’m having a good day, so I say ‘have a nice day’ to someone. Well, they object to me assuming that they want to have a nice day, they prefer ‘have a good one’. So everyone should say ‘have a good one’.

See the problem here? It’s not that their belief is the problem. They think I should be saying what they prefer, not what I prefer.

Here’s the thing, though. Every major advance in history was done because someone thought for themselves. So, no, I will greet you how I prefer, and in doing so, I am showing you that I am an individual, and am extending my individuality to you in a show of good faith, this being the holiday and all. Please feel free to respond in kind!

Merry Christmas!
