In case anyone wonders why some of us get annoyed at "Season's Greetings"

[redbird]

This turned up on an email list I'm on today:

Rockin' Ramadan!
 
Peaceful Passover!
 
Successful Solstice!
 
Merry Christmas!
 
Bang-up Boxing Day!
 
Carefree Kwanzaa!
 
Yoyful Yule!
 
Happy New Year/Hogmanay!
 
Marvelous Martin Luther King Day!
 
Excellent Emperor Norton Day!
 
Salubrious Sadie Hawkin's Day!

Also, it would be nice to have more space in the "mood" field. What I wanted to put was "irritated and not at all ecumenical".)

Note to self

Do not send redbird a card. Too risky.

"Happy new year" is fine--but someone who thinks "Peaceful Passover" is an appropriate seasonal greeting in December is lacking a bit of clue.

That said, I don't generally send cards myself, so I wouldn't be upset not to receive one, either.
