I wish everyone a happy holiday season and a prosperous new year! Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, let this be a time of happiness for you and your family. This can be a time that we all forget our differences and opinions and just be happy that we’re all alive.

I met someone the other day and told them Merry Christmas and they were offended and went out of there way to let me know about it. They did not celebrate Christmas and for some reason did not like me wishing them well. Listen people, enough of the politically correct bullshit. I don’t care what your beliefs are, if you get offended by someone wishing you a Merry Christmas, you need to get over yourself.

By the way, this isn’t a knock on Jewish people, this person wasn’t Jewish. He didn’t believe in god and had no religious beliefs at all, which is his right. I don’t care what his beliefs are. I don’t wish people well, based on what I think their beliefs are. He was the type that has nothing better to do than start confrontations with people.

There are enough things for people to get offended by in life. Just because you have different beliefs does not make the person wishing you a happy day, wrong. I mean of everything going on in the world today, this is what makes you mad?  I wished him a Merry Christmas, I didn’t say “Merry Christmas and if you don’t celebrate it, your going to hell and by the way your kids are ugly!”

Sorry, just my opinion. If you don’t like it, go read someone else’s blog. How’s that for politically correct? Oh, and Merry Christmas too!
