Happy Everything!

I’m back from the dead! (I think)

Short story: Now using Tumblr for my blogging. Cute News gave me issues mostly with being spammed. Hopefully this will be far more permanent.

How was the new year and holidays for everyone? With the exception of a new cell phone (mine makes me angry) I got everything I wanted for Christmas. Most prized is my new GPS! No longer shall I be getting lost and making 27 unnecessary  U-Turns! Now I have a woman with a slight speech impediment telling me where and when to turn and a brightly colored map to help me visualize it! The other MAJOR gift I got was an ORIGINAL 1993 Movie Poster of the Nightmare Before Christmas autographed by TIM BURTON! I’m so excited. I know the poster is worth 300 without the autograph. Thanks to wonderful boyfriend for my priceless present! 

You know what always use to bug me about the holidays? (Especially working in Retail) There’s no appropriate way to say it. You can’t say “Merry Christmas” because if they don’t celebrate Christmas they get offended.. so society started saying “Happy Holidays” of course you can’t say that either. Trust me, I’ve tried. You go on and say “Thank you for your purchase madam, Happy Holidays!” I guarantee you that the woman will turn around and say something stupid. Now, by stupid I mean she will most likely rant about whatever her holiday is (most often Christmas) and how she is SO offended that you could not wish her a Merry Christmas because you’re too busy being politically correct and worrying about others feelings.

You can’t win. If I can give you advise.. do what I started doing. Don’t wish them anything! Just say Have a Nice Day. If they say Happy Holidays to you, you say Happy Holidays back.. if a person says Merry Christmas to you, you wish it right back. When someone says “Happy Goat Molestation Day” you have to make a choice. Either wish it back to be polite.. or run as quick as you can to hide any near by goats. 

Anyhow, I hope everybody’s whatever you celebrated was wonderful. I also hope that 2009 brings you whatever you resolutionized (made up word) yourself to do. 

My resolution, was to have one next year. 

PS: We’re one year closer to 2012.. what’s everyone’s opinion on that?
