I say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

I used to say Merry Christmas and happy hangover.

We say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Basically, I say nothing. Very, very, very few people are worthy of my good wishes.

I don't care which expressions retailers print in their sales circulars advertising their overpriced, Made in China, Made in Thailand, Made in Japan junk-I-don't-want. They paid for the ink, they can say what they want. It's a free market.

And New Years? Who cares... what are we, teenagers? Hasn't been the same since Guy Lombardo died and took the Royal Canadians with him. All it means is writing the wrong year on the first couple of checks sent out to Comcast (who must die), the electric company (always good for 4 or 5 inconvenient power outages a year), and the water utility (who charges more for piping the raw sewerage out of the house than for piping in the actual water).
