I still think the outrage is overblown. Today while at the Catholic University bookstore, I overheard a man complaining “Not even here is it safe to say ‘Merry Christmas.’” My old-time struggles as an undergrad against secularism at CUA notwithstanding…he evidently was responding to the cashier having said “Happy Holidays” with his change. A nice woman, being nice, not wanting to offend–it’s ok. Odds are she has some clue what Christmas is, being at CUA. (Maybe not, but from her disposition now and back when I was there, she does.) So, again, I remain both a fervent advocate of “Jesus is the Reason for the Season” attitude, but of say “Chill a little” simultaneously.
