Go Ahead And Say It!

Well, it’s that time of year again when we go forth with our hard earned money to buy Christmas gifts from stores that don’t even recognize Christmas. I’m talking about those stores that sell ‘holiday’ items such as trees, lights and wreaths. (What other holiday has those things?) Somewhere, someone has decided saying Merry Christmas will get their company in trouble so they instruct their employees not to respond when they hear that greeting or just to say, ‘Happy Holidays’.
Well, I have pinned some mistletoe to my back belt loop and all you PC, whiney, ‘Somebody hurt my feelings!’ morons can start puckering up. Go ahead and say it! Say Merry Christmas! Don’t boycott the store just say ‘Merry Christmas!’ in a loud, but friendly voice to all those folks you see buying holiday trees. Don’t call the paper so somebody will write a story about how people won’t say Merry Christmas! Don’t write a letter to the editor that people will read and nod their heads and say, ‘Uh, huh…’ then use the paper to start a fire in the fireplace. Say Merry Christmas…I dare you, no I double dog dare…sorry…I triple dog dare you! Now you’ve got to do it Ralphie!
What are they going to do to you? Believe me, I have been thrown out of better places than the nation’s leading retailer. And so what if one of their employee’s head explodes?
They’ll just run on another one from the back room…they keep them on ice back there just in case of an emergency run on bottled water and toilet paper. Don’t get mad, get merry! Hand them a candy cane, pay for your Christmas tree and jiggle your jingle bells and walk merrily away!
This goes for our brothers and sisters who celebrate Chanukah too…Happy Chanukah to all and to all a good night! (I am an equal opportunity instigator!)
