The discussion centers on the appropriateness of holiday greetings, specifically the use of "Merry Christmas" versus "Happy Holidays." Participants express strong opinions about political correctness in greetings, with some advocating for the freedom to say "Merry Christmas" without restriction. Others argue for a more inclusive approach, suggesting that secular institutions should opt for "Happy Holidays" to accommodate diverse beliefs. The conversation highlights the tension between cultural traditions and the need for inclusivity in a multicultural society.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for social directors, event planners, human resources professionals, and anyone involved in organizing holiday events in diverse settings.
Integral said:The history channel has a nice article on the http://www.history.com/content/christmas/the-real-story-of-christmas/" . It is only a little surprising how unChristian most of our celebrations are.
I like to remind people of just what it is that we are really celebrating.
Celebrate the Solstice!
