'Tis the SEASON....

I had one old bitch here at work yell the words 'CHRISTMAS PARTY' in my face when I dared to call in the 'Holiday Party.'

I work at a lawfirm in downtown NYC.

Do you KNOW how many Jews sign off on our raises and bonuses??? Don't bite the yarmulke that feeds you.

I was in a restaurant this weekend and the waitress was super nice. As we were leaving I said "Happy Holidays!' and she snapped "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" I smiled and she said "MERRY....CHRISTMAS!!!" in a not at all festive way. I said "I was trying to wish you happy new year, too. Big mistake that was, bitch."

This one really baffles me.

I'm a Christmas monster. A tree, carols on my iPod, every Christmas special I can get my eyeballs on . . . but it would never occur to me to NOTICE, much less object to, someone saying "Happy Holidays" or the like.

I guess it's the same mentality that thinks my having marriage rights threatens their own. If I say "Happy Holidays" I've somehow taken something away from them.

But what, exactly, besides their presumed hegemony?
