Strangely I have no problem with "Happy New Year", although I am not especially fond of the celebration itself. I know it's supposed to be a time to plan the "new" year and put the old one behind you but I can't stop myself pondering the screw-ups and getting all pissy over them. Ho hum!

And I'm not into making up words when there are perfectly good ones we can use like Happy Holidays! I have posted my "seasons greetings" on the wordpress forum. Have a good one. :D Greetings Collin

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.
