Word of the Day Challenge

The Word of the Day is Holiday
This has a slightly different meaning in the UK to the US, in the UK this word means a vacation but I understand in the US it is specific to a holy festival of Easter or Christmas and is now most closely associated with, what we say in the UK as Merry Christmas, and in the US is often Happy Holidays.
I hope you enjoy using this word in a story or a poem.

The “Happy Holidays” thing is more a politically correct term to make sure nobody who isn’t Christian feels left out at Christmas. Me? I say “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Hanukkah” or whatever is appropriate. If I don’t know, the Happy Holidays might be used. Some folks actually get offended if you say “Merry Christmas” to them. Things are messed up, y’all!!

People who are offended by a well intended friendly greeting need to consider that they themselves might be the problem… 🙂 When it gets here, I hope you have a nice mid winter festival of good cheer 🙂
