“You know,” my mother would say without fail every year, “the song White Christmas? Saying “Happy Holidays” vs. “Merry Christmas” became a line in the sand between “liberal” and “conservative” values. They don’t want to walk around wearing masks and they don’t want to have to say “Happy Holidays” when they really mean “Merry Christmas.”The frustrating part of the whole War on Christmas saga is that I never asked you to include me! So, the fact that Hanukkah is the most widely known and recognized Jewish holiday makes me furious. But when I go to the grocery store and the cashier says, “Happy Holidays,” I know what she probably means is “Merry Christmas.” And without irony or any malice, I will lovingly respond, “Merry Christmas to you, too.”
