It follows snappy folly ways
To wish one Happy Holidays!
Well-meaning prissy folk, you see,
All striving to be so PC,
Are simply following a lead
For which should be no slightest need.
Would I object should someone say
They wish me Happy Grinkblump Day?
No, I’d return their wish with thanks
(Regardless if I thought them cranks)
And I’d expect that, in return,
Response to mine in kind I’d earn.
So, ‘Merry Christmas!’ hear me call
Right cheerfully to one and all,
And ‘Happy New Year!’ I will add
(If yours is different, too bad),
I really fail to reason why
My greeting I should modify.

May all the sweet magic of Christmas conspire
To gladden your hearts and fill every desire.
May each smile from the little ones light up your day.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Col
and a special hug for the little ones from Granny Bloss.
Hope MBH gets better soon and the pain reduces by the second.

Hey Colonialist… I just came over here, from your comment [my blog]… It doesn’t botter me… my/or family’s greeting card [Snapfish] says Merry Christmas…it’ll come out on the 25th, as a blogpost… the full card.. and we sent it out to a bunch of friends, some of them, responding back with the “Happy Holidays”…. 😮 It doesn’t matter… we’ll have a wonderful Christmas… Whatever people, PC ones would like/prefer to say… I’m pretty comfortable with our Christmas season… so, now: Have a very merry Christmas!!!! 😮

Like we’ve discussed earlier, the whole PC thing is just plain old stupid. People should just grow a pair and not make such a big fuss over this.
Little R looks adorable in that picture, she must be one of the apples of your eye 🙂

Oh, she is, but she is having ever stronger competition from her sister who is obviously going for a Masters in cuteness.
