F "Happy Holidays"!

:rant:

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'll say Merry Christmas on Christmas, it makes sense & I'll say happy holidays during the holiday season, it makes sense...but I never actually need to say these things to anyone other than friends & relatives...so whatevs and latresonthemenge ;)

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?").

    • Darin Gantt @daringantt · 1h Canales says Derrick Brown was limited today, "general soreness" in the oblique, nothing to do with the knee.   Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 1h Wednesday will be a padded, longer practice, per Canales.   Kassidy Hill @KassidyGHill · 1h Today was a vet day for Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson, according to Canales.   Steve Reed @SteveReedAP · 55m Dave Canales said the tight end room is a strong room, "starting with Ja'Tavion Sanders."    
    • Joe Person @josephperson · 1h Corey Thornton with nice breakup at the goal line on a pass intended for JT Sanders. The undrafted rookie from Louisville has had a nice start to camp. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 1h Pretty sure it would have been a hold in a game but Corey Thornton smothered JT Sanders for a pass breakup in 11s off a throw from 9.    Kassidy Hill @KassidyGHill · 59m Dave Canales opens his press conference sending  thoughts to those in NYC affected by the shooting last night.   Darin Gantt @daringantt · 1h Chandler Zavala suffered a knee injury Monday, described him as week to week.   Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 1h G Chandler Zavala (knee) is week to week with a patella injury. It’s not a full rupture, per Canales. “Chandler was having such a great camp.” Canales said Brady Christensen and Jarrett Kingston are picking up slack. Injury happened in a one on one drill with Derrick Brown.   Joe Person @josephperson · 1h G Chandler Zavala is week to week after injuring his knee Monday. It’s related to his patella tendon, but it did not rupture. Happened in pass rush drill vs Derrick Brown.   Kassidy Hill @KassidyGHill · 1h Canales says they saw DB Shemar Bartholomew progress during the spring, but challenged him to take next step. "Today was a big day for him."  
    • https://x.com/PanthersAnalyst/status/1950209602680746000   Edgar Salmingo, Jr. ✌🏽 @PanthersAnalyst · 1h #Panthers sign Ja'seem Reed, one of 3 WRs who tried out yesterday Interesting choice to cut Dan Chisena. Not the worst WR on the roster, same with Amare Barno for the EDGEs Seems like they're releasing bubble guys early instead of waiting until cut day so  other guys get a shot   Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 1h Austin Corbett anchors very well at center and Andy Dalton zooms the ball over the middle to Jimmy Horn on a deep cross for a TD in 11s. Shemar Bartholomew with a pick on Bryce Young on the next play.    Gabe McDonald @GabeMcDonald_ · 1h #Panthers CB Shemar Bartholomew with a solid day so far. Had a PBU on the first series of the second period of 11 on 11 and just started the third series with an INT on a Bryce Young pass.   Joe Person @josephperson · 1h Matthew Wright was 3-5. Last one clanged off the right upright.    Edgar Salmingo, Jr. ✌🏽 @PanthersAnalyst · 1h Looks like it was the passing focused 11 on 11 session Hunter Renfrow and Jimmy Horn, Jr., made big plays again   have a day Shemar Joe Person @josephperson · 1h Bryce Young airs one out to Jalen Coker. Tight coverage by Shemar Bartholomew. Coker couldn’t come down with it. 11v11
