I just listened to a news report stating that Walmart is now encouraging it's employees to use the dreaded phrase "MERRY CHRISTMAS". Last year they were so afraid of offending just about anyone and insisted their employees say "HAPPY HOLIDAYS" instead. This has been such a sore point with me for the last few years because the whole reason for this celebration that brings Walmart and so many other businesses their biggest profit of the year is that it is "CHRISTMAS". A "HOLIDAY" is when we go camping.
I love the diverse cultures we have in Canada and the United States but we have our own culture also that we have every right to preserve. It's wonderful for people of all religions and nationalities to carry on their traditions but please, PLEASE don't take mine away.
*MERRY CHRISTMAS* to all!
