I have been hearing complaints about people wishing people “Happy Holidays.” I find it sad that one can find something negative about someone wishing them well.

Then my daughter didn’t like me saying “Merry Christmas” to the man at the bank. Maybe he was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah and would be offended.

To me, I don’t care what you celebrate, the fact that you took the time & thought to wish me well is all that matters. If someone said, “Happy Kwanzaa” to me I would say, “Thank you. You too.”

So I don’t understand these Facebook posts challenging people to have the guts to say “Merry Christmas.”

It doesn’t take courage to wish someone well. It takes an open heart, thoughtfulness, kindness and love.

With that said, and in the hope that you take this wish in the spirit that it is given, I would like to wish you

Merry Days!

May all your days be filled with light, love and kindness.
