Fa la la la...wait...it's over?
I hope everybody had a joyous holiday weekend. What will they write about on the Editorial Page of the Rapid City Journal now that salespeople are no longer saying, "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" to shoppers? (Sidenote: For those of you who don't live here or don't read the paper...there have seriously been about 10 or so letters to the editor complaining about whether saying "Merry Christmas" should be allowed in public). There's no election coming up... the whole war thing hasn't had a major shift that would trigger letters to the editor... I guess it will once again become the Margaret Minkel Hour.
Putting that aside...any good memories made over the weekend?

I liked my friend Graham Thatcher's take on the whole "Merry Christmas" thing. It was quite similar to the sentimnents expressed here in the Spave, except to add that saying "Happy Holidays" means "happy holy dayse" while "Merry Christmas" mean enjoy a Eucharistic Greek/Christian" tradition. He ended by saying that if anyone these days was generous enough to come out of their egoistic bubble and wish you any kind of pleasentness whatsoever, you probably shouldn't be too picky about what words they used. And he then wished us all Peace.
Yes...I thought that was a fitting "last word on the subject" letter to the editor.
