"Tis the Season to Be Polite

Of course we know that “Merry Christmas” is offensive and that even “Happy Holidays” is religious because it conveys that certain days are holy-days and therefore needs to be omitted for political correctness. But let’s not stop there when there’s still so much to be offended about. “Season’s Greetings” is ofensive in so much as we only use this phrase during the winter season, which implies the other seasons are not a worthy time for greetings or making general acquaintances. The “End of the Year Party” theme needs to be thrown out because it offends all those who may not use the Gregorian Calendar. If you think about it, should we really be sending out such a metaphorical slap-in-the-face to those who prefer the Chinese calendar or some other indigenous form of time tracking? And what about the tribal folk who use no calendar at all? Any mention of winter or a season or a holy day is nothing less than an insensitive disregard to their unfettered sense of timelessness.
But hold on, I’m not finished.
You may at least think you can say “Happy Day” at this point but then you’ve managed to insult those who may not be happy. Think about how insensitive that reference to happiness is to those who are terminally ill or are stuck in slave labor or are starving to death.
At this point you’re probably holding onto the audacious idea that it’s safe to say “Day” to someone. Shame on you. Why should “Day” get all the credit? What about “Night?”
I’m sorry, but your best bet is to remain at your domestic residence, avoid greeting anyone, and avoid the habit of merchandise exchange that is common during this time of year because slave labor makes up a significant percentage of retail items.
