Vacation 101 Whew. All over. But now is the start of something else. This is a good thing. Until Tuesday, January 3, 2005, I�m on V-a-c-a-t-i-o-n!!!I never sent out one Christmas card. I meant to. I bought them. I never sent them. Thank you to all of you who sent me one. You and you alone have the right to cross me off your Christmas card list. I am a bad, bad person. I will not use the past three months of moving, brother in the hospital twice, short staffed at work, senility or any other excuse. I am just a bad person that didn�t get to it. Ok, next thought. I know many have commented and posted on this, but I haven�t yet. I am going to once and never mention it again. It�s about all this Merry this and Happy that nonsense. That is my opinion and I stand by it. To those of you that take issue with it, be my guest. That is your right. But let me ask a simple question. Say on your birthday, someone gives you a pair of bell bottom jeans. You hate bell bottoms and would not be caught dead in them. Would you throw them back in the gift giver�s face? Would you be insulted? I don�t think so. If someone gave you a bottle of wine and you didn�t drink, would you pour it down the drain in front of them? Of course not. You would graciously say �Thank you� and give it to someone else that would like it. So why, oh why can�t you just smile graciously when someone extends a holiday greeting even if it isn�t the holiday you celebrate? Is there not enough evil and hatred in this word? Are there not more urgent issues to address? If I were walking down the street and someone were to say �Happy Mexico Day� to me, I would smile and be, first of all, happy for them in their celebration and second, I would be grateful they chose me to share it with. Greetings and salutations are meant to share. This is a good thing. If you don�t celebrate anything else, at least celebrate common sense and decency. A quick smile and a �Same to you� doesn�t mean you are going to change your religion, give up your faith or join a commune. It is a simple show of respect for a nice gesture. Ok, I�m done with that now. Last but not least in my vacation day ramblings, am I the only one that lives in Rhode Island or New England for that matter, that thought going outside on Christmas day in a T-shirt was strange? It was 50 degrees here folks. 50! I can�t believe it. I had to shut off the heat and open the doors yesterday because we couldn�t stand the heat. |
