Happy Holidays
Oh that's right, once again here at d o r k e l i n a everyone is getting warm and fuzzy holiday wishes.
I'm not at war with Christmas. People sure hate "Happy Holidays"- they're really furious and want me to say "Merry Christmas"- should I still say it on the 26th, when there are still holidays to come? Why is it that ignoring other holidays is fine as long as no one slights the Christians?
Well it's not fine, not really. If you meet up with me during December you are subject to being greeted or bade farewell with any of the following sentiments, based on the date.
December 7: Remember Pearl Harbor.
December 11(sundown)-19: Happy Chanukah.
December 21: A joyous Winter Solstice. Just because you aren't pagan doesn't mean you skip the shortest day of the year. Unless you live ON the Equator and/or scurry between hemispheres.
December 23: Happy Festivus. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you're gonna hear about it!
December 25: Merry Christmas.
December 26th-January 1: Happy Kwanzaa.
January 1: Happy New Year.
