I know you were wondering: I remain a squish on “Merry Christmas.” “Happy Holidays” and “Season Greetings” just don’t bother me (though I don’t think the latter phrases have ever actually rolled off my tongue). Sorry. (Though Gloria Steinem’s “Whatever you celebrate in this season — Christmas or Kwanzaa, Diwali, Ramadan, Chanukah or the Winter Solstice — reach out in the spirit of giving that is universal.” still makes me laugh.)
