I'm sick and tired of people wishing me "Happy Holidays!"

"Welcome to ---------, Happy Holidays."

"Thank you for shopping at -----------, Happy Holidays!"

It's Christmas dammit! Followed by New Years! If you don't want to wish me a "Merry Christmas", you might as well say, "Go F yourself!"

If you want to wish me . "Merry Christmas, welcome to --------"

Or, Happy Hanukkah, welcome to -------------"

Or you walk into a Chinese restaurant and they say, "May a 1000 blessings be bestowed upon you."

I'm cool with that!

This "Happy Holidays" a-political crap, is for the birds! Even if you are agnostic, pagan, Jewish or whatever. You are getting time off from work because of a Christian Holiday! The celebration of the birth of the Christian savior, Jesus Christ!

Even though it's been proven that Jesus Christ was born in the Spring and not the Winter. That in order for Germanic people to more readily accept Christianity, they chose this date because middle Europeans already had a Winter celebration that included Santa Klaus.

If you don't want to wish me a "Merry Christmas" then don't say anything at all! This "Happy Holidays" crap, you can sit and spin on it!

Rant over. Carry on!

I want to rant on how much I hate political correctness, but I think that was well summarized by JOAT raising the point that it's 3 holidays rolled into one period, so really, Happy Holidays is fine.

BUT! What I'm against is anyone telling anyone else to say anything. Store X tells their employees to say Y so you don't offend Z. That's bull shiz.

If you want to wish me a Merry Christmas, a Happy Chanukkah, a Happy Kwanza, or even a Happy Holidays, that's fine. And I will wish you a Merry Christmas in return (I am aware of the irony that I am in fact a staunch Athiest, but as a Pagan, I'm probably more in the right celebrating the commercialized sun-worship "Christmas" we all know and love...but that's another rant for another day).

What blessing you want to bestow on others is your decision alone, and no company policy should be a factor in that decision (But I'm against corporate spiel altogether after working at Macy's; "Hi, I'm Captroop. How may I provide you with excellent service today?").

      This is why he was running with the 1's yesterday! I really hope he's as good as the hype.

      It’s still early but our 2024 draft day 3 looks promising. Sanders and Wade both look like good roster guys with Demani and Coker also being picked up in the undrafted player pool.  If you count the trade of 7th rounder Michael Barret (I do) to get Mike Jackson it looks even better.

      We didn’t need a 50/50 ball receiver. We need guys who can create separation for Bryce to pinpoint the ball to at all levels of the defense. Tet may figure it out a few years from now but he will struggle to beat man coverage due to his lack of acceleration and what seems to be relatively slim frame.    The offense functioned much better with Theilen last season because of his ability to create separation from defenders. I don’t know why but that is Bryce’s go-to rather than a 50/50 ball which, in the NFL, is a throw you may make two times per game.    i wanted Tyle Warren because I feel he can end up being very much like Kelci and how he operates in space and how that chemistry between he and Mahomes doesn’t need a playbook. Then you’ve got Matthew Golden who is apparently burning everyone at Packers camp right now. He is very much like Antonio Brown.    We clearly made the pick we made so I should get over it. I think everyone is hoping for Mike Evans here but at best I think we may get a smaller DK Metcalf? Given what we know about his inability to break coverage at UA-Tuscon, it’s going to be even harder in THA LEAGUE.
