Merry... oops... Happy ... uh.. Seasons ... Oh Gee.. Just Have a Great Day!
This morning my husband and I took our normal walk out at Green Cay. And, like we do every morning, we said our “Good Morning!” to all of our friends and anyone else we passed. We also greeted and were greeted with a resounding “Happy Thanksgiving!”For me, it is such an uplifting way to begin the day. I’m getting a great physical and spiritual workout. Today after about the 5th “Happy Thanksgiving my husband remarked how he liked this holiday because there was no expectation of gifts and we could say “Happy Thanksgiving” without worrying about offending anyone.I know there are some who believe it is offensive to Native Americans to say “Happy Thanksgiving” and it is not my intention to do so. If you know me at all then you know I would never offend anyone but this political correctness is getting a little out of hand.Think about it... I’m wishing you Happy Thanksgiving, meaning for me I hope you enjoy the day and that you have much for which you are thankful.
And now, as we enter December, we all tread gingerly on saying anything but “Season’s Greetings” or “Happy Holidays”. Sometimes I feel so in the spirit I want to say “Merry Christmas!” but I find myself doing the momentary hesitation and settling for being PC.Look, we’ve (and I mean ALL of us) have had a few rough years. Let’s try to get by this holiday season by saying what’s in our hearts. If you pass by me and wish me “Happy Hanukkah” this December 20th, I will wish you “Happy Hanukkah” back. Same goes for “Happy Kwanzaa!” And, when you do, I will take it to mean that you have joy and the spirit in your heart and you are wishing me that as well.
We have larger battles to fight... hunger, the economy, health care... shall I go on? Let’s unite this year with a wish to all that comes from our hearts in whatever language, religious, regional or ethnic phrase we choose. And let’s be open to receive it.
