ghost_lightNow, I like Christmas. I listen to the Holiday music station in the car. I love writing Christmas cards. I don't mind the shopping most of the time. But there are days.
Last year, the morning DJs were talking about all the jackassery of the season. Firehouses being asked to take down 50 year old 'Merry Christmas signs' because someone was offended. People being sued for wishing a co-workers a Merry (insert wrong holiday here). All kinds of stupidity.
A very wise listener called in to make a suggestion. Instead of having all these different Holiday wishes - Merry Christmas, Happy Solstice, Happy Hanukkah etc. and risk offended someone by using the wrong one, we should just have one universal Holiday greeting guaranteed to offend everyone:
Up Yours!
Today was a good day to say a very merry 'Hey, up yours!'
