What Happened ??? ( mini rant)

By
Real Estate Agent with AllMountainRealty.com

I am now seeing signs here in the mountains that say Merry Christmas. These signs are replacing the happy holidays signs.  I am all for this. Personally you should advertise holidays period. So say Happy Hanukkah for example. I am not Jewish, but why should I be offended?  The answer is I should not.

We as a nation were founded on principles, which among others, include religious freedom. So Vishnu bless you, or happy Ramadon, or, or, or, ....etc. Personally I think if more folks were truely spiritual, whatever that means for them, we would live in a better place.

I get TIRED of folks making me conform to their wishes because they might be upset. This goes for religious folks as well as non religious folks. As this is the Christian season of hope and good will how about we all latch on to that concept and take a chill pill.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannakah, Happy Kwansi , and if I left anybody out Happy.... to you all too.

Right on. It used to be majority ruled. Now if one person in a 100 is offended, unhappy, upset, let's upset the apple cart.

Hi Charlie:

Merry Christmas to you...

People get a bit confused with my last name, even though it's German, people misunderstand it and think it's Jewish.  And it's my married name...I'm 100% Greek.

I get wishes of all kinds...doesn't matter to me.
