Some people may wonder why I say "Happy Holidays" But never put an actual name for the holiday.
Well, It's pretty simple really…
My mother is Wiccan, My Father is born again Baptist, Many dear friends of mine fallow a shamanistic path, and other important people in my life are Buddhist. And then there are those floating around that hold beliefs unique only to them.
It’s Very hard for me to remember each & every holiday all these different beliefs & religions celebrate.
I have No problems with other peoples religious views or personal beliefs.
It is *my* belief that everyone has the right to choose the path that makes them feel whole & happy.
I respect & can see the good in many different beliefs.
I say “Happy Holidays” because I do not want to exclude anyone or make it seem as if their personal views are not important to me. And “Happy Holidays” is much easier than saying “Happy Yule, Marry Christmas, Happy Hanukah , Happy Kwanzaa,”& so on & so on & so on.
I also say “Happy Holidays” around this time of year because it is the time when Most of these different religions & beliefs have some kind of celebration.
I know many others fall at different times of year like Easter, Beltane, The ceremony of ancestors, Day of colors, & too many more to list.
When I say “Happy Holidays” it means that I wish each & everyone happy joyful & fulfilling holidays now & for the rest of the year… no mater what they believe in
