After the hustle and bustle of the past week today was a real disappointment. I don't know if it was the bright winter sun or the bitter cold wind that kept everyone inside . . . In Southern California Alan Peters went shopping for his tree in sunny eighty-plus degree weather. That just wouldn't put me in the holiday spirit . . . I chuckled over Kimberly Rathnam's FaceBook post today: Women are angels and when someone breaks their wings they continue to fly--on their broomsticks . . . E-mails are flying--it is that time of year again: Put Christ back in Xmas; boycott any store promising Happy Holidays; Season's Greetings is insufficient. Only Merry Christmas is acceptable . . . I appreciate the argument with reservations and would offer this alternative: Say whatever is comfortable to you and respect the response you get. Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah. This should resolve the situation . . . Years ago when I was in public relations I met an associate who had inadvertently cut his Christmas card list by half when he sent what he considered a very clever greeting. The card, beautiful in design, had a simple message inside: The same to you. Friends and acquaintances were not as amused as he thought they would be . . . The Bluebirds of Happiness are wrapped and ready for giving. A nice token gift for neighbor or associate and only $9.50 . . .
