Happy Ramahanukwanzaamas!
One of the things that I dislike about the season is “Merry Christmas”. It just seems so impersonal and commercial. I have tried things like “seasons” and “bid you a most excellent festive season” but they sound like something out of Christmas cards.
Lorelle hit the nail on the head with:
I thought this was very appropriate in the blogging world we hang out in, since it is such an anonymous and yet vastly diverse community where skin, age, height, sex, sexual preference, weight, ethnicity, race, creed, acne, beauty, culture, and nationality mean nothing. Ramahanukwanzaamas is a wonderful way of wishing folks a Happy Ramadan, Happy Hanuka, Happy Kwanzaas, and Happy Christmas all wrapped up into one word.
So, Happy Ramahanukwanzaamas!
Update: Of course, I have just been reminded that there’s an important greeting I have missed which is the Pagan Midwinter. So, Happy Yule, or Happy Pagan Midwinter. I shall certainly be partaking of at least one of the traditional pagan symbols, The Feast!

I hate the whole ‘politically correct’ version of Christmas. I despise it. Because lately, whenever I’m wishing someone a Merry Christmas, I have to deal with that second of hesitation as I wonder if it’s politically correct of me to say it or not. Year ago, it was perfectly fine to say “Merry Christmas” and now, it’s suddenly bad manners and one has to go with “Happy Holidays”?
