The Rant
Have yourself a Crazy Little Kwanzaa! May your Hanukkah Be Bright! Or just say Merry Little Christmas and that you can't get a needle up your you-know-what ... tooo-niiiight. You holiday people are so wild and crazy. All the fuss about how to greet people and advertise all that garish crap you run out and trample each other in the aisles to buy is really pretty hilarious. The mere fact that "Happy Holidays" is a plural phrase that covers more than just December 25th seems to have been lost on the psyche of the great unwashed. The saying is not, as many of you would maintain, a single greeting for that single day. It starts around Thanksgiving and ends around New Year's Day -- to most normal people, anyway.
