The Most Important Christmas Song Of All Time
Some people get SO Sensitive around this time of year.
It used to be that you could say whatever you wanted to someone to wish them a happy holiday, and they'd say whatever they wanted back to you. I like saying "Happy Holidays", because I don't like assuming things about people.
People these days act like if you're not Christian, you're attacking Christmas? I mean, that's not it for me. I don't care if you're celebrating the Winter Solstice, Kwanzaa, Yalda, Hannukah, Bodhi Day, Ashura, Christmas, New Year's or any of the others out there I don't know about. I just want to send you a happy greeting, you know?
I'm not gonna assume you're doing anything, because I haven't walked a mile in your shoes. SO, "Happy Holidays" is good enough for me. And if you want to say "Happy Yalda" back to me, that's fine. But I do have questions for you because I don't know what Zoroastrian religion entails. I know Freddie Mercury was into that, but... anyway.
So if I say "Merry Christmas" to you, and you say "Have a Happy Kwanza" back to me, I won't be mad. Or even annoyed. I'll just smile. I'll say "Thanks" and move on. Trust me when I say NOBODY WANTS TO HAVE THAT ARGUMENT AT THE CHECKOUT, JANET.
So, in that spirit, here's a song from one of my favorite shows of all time, MST3K.
Admittedly, it's not a serious song. But the sentiment is real, isn't it?
I don't know about you, but I agree with them. Can't we all just get along?!
Yaldaingly yours,
Behka
