I don't say happy holidays, I say Merry Christmas to people because I celebrate Christmas. If they say happy holidays to me I say it back.
I hate holiday parties. I don't celebrate Holidays, I celebrate Christmas. Once you have to start worry about offending people over what you are celebrating, it really just becomes a big commercial mess. I have worked at the same place for ten years and my "cost of living" increase has not at all kept of with the increase in the cost of living. It used to be that they would have jeans days once a month and you paid $5.00 to wear jeans and that money went to a specific charity of the month. Lately no one wears jeans - so this year, in order to attend the Holiday Party you were required to purchase a $35-$50 gift or make a monetary donation to the charity in order to "attend". I hope I am not the only one who said "I'm sorry,. due to a prior engagement I will be unable to attend this event." In case anyone is wondering, the "party" is a catered in lunch that we have to clock out to attend.
