I'm offended. . . Big deal!

Want to know what I hate. Lima beans.

Noooooooo...

Those same people each year who just have to ruin life for everyone by being offended. I really can't stand it. Last night it happened again. HSA meeting. Everything is going relatively well until we get to the Fifth Grade Winter Concert.

I'll give you separation of church and state. Since when does Santa have anything to do with religion? "Holiday colors and/or Santa hats are optional". How is one offended by that? Santa has about as much to do with Christ as a swastika on a dreidel. Santa and red and green have nothing to do with religion. It says holiday colors. That could be red, green, blue, gold. . . pick a crayon.

And don't give me that Happy Holiday crap. Holiday is short for Holy day. That is religious. But it's not specific nor is it mandated by the government. Get over it. And then get over it some more. Then shut up.

If you come up to me and offer a greeting from whatever. . . Happy buddha found his navel day. . . I'll accept it as a kind gesture and just say "thanks. . . same to you!"
