note to self (and ellen)
gotta remember to tell ellen that we’re back into that time of year when on occasion we’ll play a christmas tune during the show, talk about the holidays, shopping, etc. and every now and then greet or say goodbye to a guest with a holiday greeting of some kind.
that’s right, it’s that time of year when along with the merry christmases and happy new years’s (pronounced yearz-uhz) we might say happy holidays — not because we’re pagan, not because we don’t want to offend someone, but because it’s another acceptable greeting people use during the holidays (notice we call them “the holidays” as there are indeed multiple holidays in close proximity to one another).
anyway, i have to remind ellen to be ready for the emails that will come in accusing us of being p.c. or crazy libs or any number of other things we may get called when, for the sake of variety, we choose to say happy holidays instead of merry christmas.
of course, when i do get email like that, the one thing that always comes to mind: that’s the spirit! (sigh)
