Christmas is nearly here and everyone is full of cheer and good wishes, one and all say Happy Holliday's, Season's Greetings on the lips of checkers in grocery stores and even people passing you on the sidewalk.

Where has the tradition of Merry Christmas gone? Yes everyone has to be more politically correct than ever before, new laws and regulations provide for the non-discrimination of all. What worries me is we are regulating everything in our lives to such an extent that no one feels comfortable saying those last two words, Merry Christmas! Heureu Noel!  Feliz Navida, Conten Natale, Froehl Weihna! It's not an insult! I'm not trying to be politically in-correct, you can say Happy Hanuka to me too!  Just a statement of fact, I wish you all joy this Christmas.
