I know the above phrase is a bit of a tongue tie. A rather ridiculous phrase all in the name of political correctness this upcoming season. In many cities in North America, they are endeavouring through legislation, to remove the word 'Christmas' from holiday symbolism and greetings. Eg. A Christmas Tree is now referred to as a Holiday Tree. In many corporate workplaces, individuals are not allowed to oficially utilize the term 'Merry Christmas', instead 'Happy Holidays' or 'Seasons Greetings'. Nativity scenes are decreasingly being used in public displays etc. etc. In a vastly and increasingly multicultural society, it seems the safest and most tolerant approach to recognizing and celebrating the holiday season.

So at the official start of this season, Merry Chrismakwanzaramaukah to all, and to all a goodnite! I guess I left out Happy Yule, have to fit that in later.
