Merry Christmas everyone.  I’ve heard that us non-Christians are supposed to prefer “Happy Holidays” but find the whole issue extremely silly.  I like the kid in the manger story, the guy in the red suit, the music.  As I was doing my morning run these last few weeks I’ve been air whistling “Silent Night” or “Come All Ye Faithful.”  It’s my favorite winter solstice celebration.  Days are short—be generous and happy.  Happy holidays?  Give me a break.
