I was checking out at Walmart, and as I was reaching for my bags I said, “Happy Holidays!”
And the cashier leaned in like she was sharing a secret and said “Merry Christmas.”
So I smiled politely and said, “Blessed Yule!”
And the look that spread across her face, you would have thought I’d literally stolen Christmas from her.

If you’re going to make a point of wishing me a happy whatever-you-celebrate, I’m going to make a point of wishing you a happy whatever-I-celebrate, and if you think that’s wrong you should consider getting “hypocrite” tattooed across your forehead.

It’s that time of year again

A post I made has officially become an “it’s that time of year again” post and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t honored

If this happens, I say we all wish them a holiday that is not Christmas such as…

• Happy Thanksgiving (it’s still November!)
• Diwali: (festival of lights date varies in early November) nov 7
• Karthika Deepam: (festival of lights that varies based on the year)
• Happy Hanukkah: dec 2 to 10
• Happy and blessed Mawlid: (date varies) Nov 20 to 21
• Blessed Yule: dec 21 (1st day of Winter Solstice) to Jan 1 (lasts 12 days with most of the celebration on the first day)
• Winter Solstice: dec 21
• Happy Kwanzaa: (greeting is “habari gani” during) dec 26 to jan 1
