Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays
Letter to Newsweek Magazine
Dear editor:
With all the hoopla about "Happy Holidays" vs "Merry Christmas" it is comforting to read Anna Quindlen's op-ed piece "Frankincense In Aisle Five" in the Jan 2, 2006 edition. Thank God someone has some common sense to see the absolute ridiculousness of religious fanatics such as Pat Robertson and his demand that we observe only his version of religion, and where he says to practice it. Someone should remind this religious dictator and his ilk that people go to stores, at this time of the year, not for bible thumping but rather for shopping and buying. We prefer to observe our religious beliefs in our personal life, our relations with others, and in our churches, synagogues, and mosques. We don't need a credit card to go there.
