Jeff over at Boonville Blog is a common-sense kinda guy. Check out this from his blog:

Last Friday, after a string of emails, a coworker indicated that they would be out until well after the new year. They signed off with “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year”. Seeing this, I responded with a “Happy Holidays” since HH is shorter than MCaHNY and conveys the same point. A couple of minutes later my coworker responded that they hoped they hadn’t offended anyone by saying “Merry Christmas”. As I said assuringly to my coworker, please, anyone, feel free to wish me “Happy Whatever Religious Holiday Comes Next”. I won’t take offense. If someone wished me happiness on an important day in their religion I would sooner be honored than take offense.

God help us all… Uncommon common sense in a world gone nuts. Well said, Jeff.
