A letter writer recently complained grumpily replace "Merry Christmas" with "stupid and ridiculous" Happy Holidays ". The responsibility for this" secular humanists, liberals and ultra-pollute the U.S. with his disgusting political correctness. "
What the writer as an attack "politically correct" is an attempt of the growing awareness of society and the world in which we live, born with the knowledge that our language must be included not to isolate. It is part of "secular humanism", but an attempt, the reality that no longer turns today's world, to embrace Christian white males. It is an attempt not to sometimes, be aware and respectful of history and prospects for all, religious and others.
I remember reciting "The Lord's Prayer" public in our schools. Raised as a Christian, I never thought much, but told a Jewish classmate to me later that the shame and it ruled out and his sympathy. It opened my eyes.
I wish my Christian friends and family "Merry Christmas ". Nothing, it was not politically correct. I wish my Jewish friends "Happy Hanukkah". If in doubt, use, I am the least risk, "Happy Holidays" because it covers a number of non-Christian celebrations and New Year.
In addition, for companies, broadcasters, schools, government and individuals sensitive to all ethnic and religious groups, covers "Happy Holidays" some or all databases. Thus, in the spirit of the season, the author gives a Merry Christmas and peace and goodwill to all peoples.
