A young fellow was in the Burg Grocery this past week and said "Happy Holiday" to the clerk at the register. Of course I'm old school and believe we should say "Merry Christmas" as this has been the tradition and Christmas is what we are celebrating this time of year, at least in this small community and for most Americans.
Another way of putting it is like saying "Have a good one." This way you don't have to think about what time of day it is. This way it takes no effort or thought to figure out quickly whether you should say-good morning, have a good evening or week-end.
The next question is do you say "Happy Holiday" just before New Years or do actually say "Happy New Years?" Politically correct or dumbing down! Ba! Humbug!
