P.S. - I feel awkward & clumsy & unfeeling for saying "merry christmas". Sorry if I offended anyone.
I think I'm partly saying it a fair bit lately, because I live in Canada & we Canadians are TOTALLY paranoid about being "politically correct". Lord help us -------- we might offend someone by saying "Merry Christmas" - since it indicates a particular religion & oh dear, we might offend someone of another religion, etc.
Some stores are actually insisting that their employees say "Happy Holidays" & don't dare say "Merry Christmas". Jeez!
Anyway - sorry for the rant.
The thing I wish us all most, is peace & contentment.
Kath
