Why is Happy Holiday's Politicly Correct if Holiday's Means Holy Day
Seriously I think it's so stupid. I know more people Offended by "Political Correctness" than I know who are offended by "Merry Christmas" And Like I said in the Title, Holiday means Holy Day. So in the end you are still acknowledging the holiness of the day. Of course there are many holidays that are not holy (bank and american holidays) so I guess people don't understand the meaning of the word. Anyway, Merry Christmas to you all and God bless. (this is a christian site, if you're offended by that you probably wouldn't be on here in the first place)
Now on to a real Jarble, I've been thinking about all the traditions people create for themselves and their families to do every holiday. I never understood this, I like change. I don't think I could do the same thing again and again and again every year. I especialy don't understand handing down family traditions. I guess it's because my family didn't ever have real traditions. My mom and I kept moving from state to state, town to town, and house to house. So we never had time to develop such things. Now I'm not bashing people who do have traditions, I just think it's nice to just wing it and do what you feel like. This year I spent three hours sword fighting with my Bro-in-Law, got a swollen knee and index finger now, and I loved doing that. But doesn't mean that's what I'm doing next year. I used to I guess have a tradition on thanksgiving and other holidays to seclude myself and play video games alone, but now that I look back at that that was just my normal behavior anyways. So yeah, For the most part I either do something new and exciting, or do what I do every day. Of course I do take the time to give God his time on the true holidays like Christmas, Easter, and Good Friday. But other than that I just go with the flow. I find like is less complicated when you forget about doing things "right" or "according to tradition" and just do them like how you feel.
Yeah, I guess some can be fun, I'm just glad I didn't live with a person who hogged the TV all day to watch football on the holidays as their tradition.
Its true Holiday's etymology comes from Holy Day, but since English is a living language its developed its own deprived meaning, kinda like a Zombie
Traditions are fun and amusing so long as you have then to be fun and amusing, and relieve sometimes you won't always follow them to the letter. Part of Life is adapting to change and if your going to let the way your forefathers did things prevent you from having fun over the Holidays or Holy Days then you have a lot of sulking to do.
